“We’re growing, we’re getting better and we’re going to learn to finish teams off. We had the right attitude after the game and carried it through the weekend. We’re excited to get back at it tonight.” - Beagle

I'm saying there are different standards for each player. If LE coughs up the puck in the neutral zone and if BB makes that same mistake, I guarantee one gets blown out of proportion more than the other. People will remember LE's mistake games later, but will have no memory of BB making that same mistake. Just because Brock is the better player doesn't dismiss that mistake if we will go on and on about it for LE.

did Loui not throw Green under the bus in the summer, nothing can sugar coat that.  has not Loui played awful for 3 years making 6 mill a year and not living up to his contract? this is why many on here do not have a lot of faith for him.  I hope he plays well for his sake

Not sure they want Gaudette playing - he has only 15 more games before he is waiver eligible.  They seem to think he needs more development time.  

I'm wondering if having the Comets here on the west coast would allow for a guy to come up for just a game or two, and then go back down.  Maybe Hockey Gaud stays down, and we bring up Big Mac to play that fourth line spot for a couple games?  It just seems like having the Comets so far away (distance and time to travel wise) hurts us.  Do any other teams have their farm clubs such a distance away?

NHL salary vs AHL salary. He's earned the NHL salary from camp. I'm sure if Gaudette prefers to stay in Utica for his development, he would ask for it. He's not complaining. He's hopefully analyzing NHL action with the idea that he needs to play a strong defensive game, so watching someone like Sutter and Beagle (and Horvat) do their things will be beneficial to him. It is beneficial for the Canucks to not get him into waiver territory too early either just in case.

Not just watch, but practice as well (although I know you meant that as well)

We've had a whole summer discussing the LE comments. I'm not going to get into that again. We all know what the issues are with having LE, but there's not much that can be done about that. At the end of the day, I rather LE play his role and be positive for the team rather than create more controversy about it making it a distraction. If he does enough to keep a spot on the team and helps us on the PK or whatever, then that's that. Just have to accept it and wait out his contract. If something can be done earlier then great, but until then the only beneficially thing for our team is that he performs well and just support him to do so.

lol if brock scored 9 goals and 18 assist and 3 hits people would be all over him too , so don't even go there   , brock is a young player competes and yes makes mistakes , if loui made more of an effort then his mistakes wouldn't be so amplify , 3 years of his play  you bet people are going to be critical. Different standards for different players , so you are going to pull that card ?   loui had his different standard and treatment for 3 years  and guess what  it is over ,  Time to earn your ice time  , nothing is given  compete or sit  , standards are higher now

"It's been good. He's been a consummate pro. He's working hard. I think with young guys it can affect them a lot more than an older guy, a guy that's been around. You know as a coach he'll give you his best when he gets in." - Green on Eriksson

 

"I think he has been playing better hockey. More energetic, looking more comfortable. Bit more rambunctious I'd like to call it... I like Ferly. We're going to need this guy... certain types of games he'll be a big part of our team." - Green on Ferland

 

"We have a lot of belief in Demmer. I think he's a really good goalie... I think right now it's good to get Marky a couple days off and get him reset. I've had confidence in Demmer since the first day he's been here." - Green on Demko

I think it helps us, because the guys can just focus on playing and practicing away from the airplane seats when they get called up for a game and put back down. When they're up here, they're up for awhile.

 

It makes 'insta replacements' more difficult, but we also carry extra players on the roster for filling in anyway. Loui is filling in for Motte, we'll see if he decides after 10 games scratched whether he wants to play or not.

PREGAME | Loui Eriksson

 

Contract and performance issues aside, I watch this interview and I can’t help but feel for the guy. He’s performed at a high level his whole life and now time is catching up to him, as it does with us all. 

 

Sure some of the jokes about his play can be pretty funny sometimes,  but he is still a human being going through a tough time. Money does not make you exempt from feeling. 

 

Eventually the issue will be sorted out either through trade or through waiting out his contract. In the meantime I’m going to support him and wish the best for him because like it or not, for better or worse, he is a Canuck and a human being.

 

He seems like a good guy and I wish him the best and hope he does well tonight. 
 

Go Canucks Go!

And he's been sitting most of the season, so what's the problem? As just posted, Green has called him a consummate pro, so he's done what he needs to earn this game. I guarantee that we are going to hear all night about every possible negative thing that can be pointed out for him though.

 

The point isn't about Brock, it could be any other player that isn't hated where said player could cause a bad turnover or something, but if LE does it, it'll be talked about for days. Almost as if people are tracking the bad things he does. This was done with Sutter and now he's been shutting people up. We've been hearing it about Schaller and he's been shutting people up. I guess it's up to LE to shut people up, but he has a much higher mountain to climb.
