I know you don't want to admit it but he was given plenty of chances during his first year and even into his second year here and he just didn't have it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost his confidence and he never regained it. But he still had his hockey iq, the small bit that Virtanen didn’t have. Virtanen with Louis brain would have been a monster Hence he was good at reading play and mostly covered for his linemates. As many said before… If he had cost 2 mill per year no one would have said anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also scoring a bunch of empty net goals with Pearson and Horvat isn’t all that impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that Loui had lousy coaches that didn't know how to use him. BBs attacking suis Loui better so if we got BB fsix years ago Benning and Loui would have saved their careers.

I don’t think you even believe that. Loui declined, end of story. He’s not built for the modern NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL97OneTimer Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Blaming a coach for poor play is fine when you are talking about a young star needing guidance......not for a veteran making $6M/yr. In all fairness to JB, nobody knew how atrocious that deal would be. Everyone thought it was a bit expensive, but assumed there would be some significant value. Not to say JB doesn't deserve to own it though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
