butters Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 They people complaining about his interview aren't the same people who complain about players always giving bland canned responses I hope. But who am I kidding, there will be lots of crossover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have a lot of respect for him showing up and taking the interview. He knew the tough questions were going to be asked. He answered them directly and seemed genuine. He knows the situation isnt ideal but he's taking the high road. He's stating his commitment to the team and his support of Green. He reiterated multiple times that he thinks Green is a great coach and he feels they're on the same page. He said he's willing to play any role he's given. He's being very humble about a tough situation. I think we need to get off his back just a little. Quoting myself because I don't want this video to be lost as the last post of a page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 13 hours ago, Alflives said: I agree with part if this. Louis is definitely frustrated. He’s lost a step, his hands are gone, and his strength is diminishing. He was asked, by a Swedish reporter, to justify why his offence dried up. He defended himself, and his reputation. Loui will not make the team, and he will retire before the Canucks announce he’s being put on waivers to be sent down. Clearly, from his answer to the Swedish reporter, his reputation (especially at home in Sweden) is very important to him. He will not jeopardize that reputation anymore by the embarrassment of being sent to the minors. He will retire before that happens. I hope you are right Alf. I don't want him to make the team either. But I just don't know if the organization has the balls to do it before the season starts. Louie can turn it on...if he wants to. So I predict that with the added pressure of all the talk of sending him down, and the increase in competition for spots, and the pressure of reviving some degree of respect after all the criticism, ...that he'll "want to" for training camp and preseason. He won't be the best, but he could fight his way onto the third or fourth line. And for the organization, they really don't want to give up on the money player before giving him one last shot. An active NHL player is also easier to move, especially if he's at least doing the little things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 All because of a new interview people want to give Eriksson a free pass now.... He still plays the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This is the most scrutiny he's had since he got here. It's been long overdue. If it's a catalyst to spark some life and better compete level back into his game all the better. But I won't keep my hopes up after three 10 goal seasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken. Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Damn.. the poll is pretty even for whether he will make the team out of camp. Loving the internal competition JB has created here with the forward group. work lots, be hard to play against, or get cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get off his back when he stops attempting to waste ice time that should be going to actual NHLers. Until then, it's our responsibility as fans to drive this worthless bum out of town. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 During Media Day, Eriksson was asked a softball question about what it means having the new additions to the team. I would have liked to see them flush out his offseason comments or if he worked on anything to improve for this season. I guess they're giving the guy a break, but hardly the focus of media attacks as many would purport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman64 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) 18 hours ago, Hairy Kneel said: Sports isn't for quitters. And he quit trying as soon as he got here. Yeah almost.. I saw him play like a man possessed the very last game with the Sedin's, if suddenly he went back to that "every game" then he can stay but that's just not going to happen as much as we want him to... I heard he played a good game against the Bruins too for another game, so 2 excellent games playing the calibre of what he can do when he wants equals 18 mil over 3 yrs for 2 games.. lil steep no? Ok best case scenario he played a bit better and say 10 really good games.. the math still sucks! Grrrrr... Retire already!

I'd bet on Virtanen or Leivo scoring 20 before him the way he's played. On 9/11/2019 at 5:23 PM, EdgarM said: I agree with Loui this thing has been way "overblown". He starts on the third line this year and is depth for the top 6 with maybe the chance of being traded later in the year. 3rd line?? I'm thinking 4th line. He can kill penalties & that's his role. 12 hours ago, ChuckNORRIS4Cup said: His best goal ever I was at that season opener. LB Right behind our net, couldn't believe it as the puck went in.

If you play smart you cover at least 2 players instead of hitting one. PK isn't all about hitting. Petey would get more out of the game if he hit less. Let the big or dirty guys hit and let the players skate. pfft so that all he is good for then pk lol come on now loui just skates around distracted already he need to be more engaged in the game get to the dirty areas to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
