Popular Post smithers joe Posted August 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2019 i could see louie playing up until roussel gets back. i just hope that, which ever happens to louie, the fans root for louie to succeed. he will be hard pressed to make the team this year but don’t sour his process. the team will give him a chance to make it or not, the fans should too. 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he still thinks he is still the player from Boston he probably would still want to play somewhere in the NHL . Retiring means never again . I don't think he leaves the 9 million on the table I wouldn't but then I don't have his 55 mill career earnings !!! Did Loui not say that he intended to play out his contract? It sounds like retirement is not likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassian? Benning already gave him away for essentially nothing because he's a screw ball. Why on earth would he bring him back? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) TG talking only about LE’s part in their relationship, speaking to results, etc. Not sure I would have done it that way. LE’s comments, translated yet, weren’t anything remotely controversial and if anything were ordinary as the day is long. The man literally said nothing, only that he and the coach had differing perceptions of his part on the team. This was a nontraversy, yet even TG has played into it. TG only added fuel to the fire by commenting on and adding substance to the original quip, likely made in passing and who knows what context or translation issues it was derailed by. IMO, TG should have passed by this comment and practiced what he preached in the same interview. Also, due to the publicity, JB just had his hands further tied for any trying to move LE. Dumb move, TG. Edited August 3, 2019 by 189lb enforcers? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe you’re too funny. Could you imagine a coach who thought (and acted upon those thoughts) like most of us on CDC? It would be like Bill Laforge and John Tortorella added with Mike Keenan.

Dumb move, TG. Maybe TG knows (told in meeting with JB) their is zero chance of trading Loui? Maybe TG is laying the groundwork to send a veteran guy (Loui) to the minors? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids been through way too much already in such a young life. Glad for him he’s found success (a home) in Edmonton. For him, I hope he stays there. I think we have Big Mac, who can fill that roll now, if needed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was more or less calling out LE that he’s going with the best options at training camp and calling him out that he doesn’t make lines based on salary. He did it in a nice and professional way too. In other words have a good camp and earn a spot or as Alf so politely suggested earlier, prepare to smell bus farts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as simple as relentless, infectious work rate. But including size that runs through you in a puck battle. Can make passes no one see's coming. Speeeeed. A howitzer faster than a goalie can react. Slippery & explosive agility! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyHarry Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It was a good interview. Green was honest but it was media honesty and that’s all we as fans will ever get. Green will just answer the question with a simple answer. “Work hard earn spot....yadda yadda”. Is media interviews enough? For me.... No. I want more. i would love this training camp to have a documentary of inside stuff. At lest 20 min episodes of Real stuff. In office talks on ice player talks, off ice stuff and so on. So I can see a more clear picture of wants going on and their real personalities. Even a 20min Utica episode I want. My favorite Canuck media videos are the war room pre draft stuff and draft floor and behind the scenes player stuff. I wanta see all the behind action and not just a 2min overly edited version. so Plz Canucks....for us fans ,make a true documentary of this Training camp as it is the start of a new era of Canucks hockey.

There is more then speculation behind my translation. That being said, I’m not hell bent on anything I just wanted to point out how much green tip toed the questions while you feel he was dispelling I respectfully disagree. I actually have given dark horse status to Lou Erickson in another post because it is my nature to a fault to always root for the underdog. But you keep being you and I’ll keep being me.
