Player Discussion Loui Eriksson II

[FRANK CANNON]

Real simple, and I never been a Loui fan, he is playing very well this season and is a great all around player. You can not refute that. However his style of play is not something I am a fan of. Prefer a little more aggressive style when the player has a big frame like Loui. That's it. No malice towards him. Some like blondes, others brunettes

Lol.

This twink has never set foot in a gym.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Not sure what the fuss is about?

Loui is a very good player. He's just not the kind of player I give $6m for 6 years to at age 31.

Nothing personal.

Deal him for the best package possible, then replace him with another vet or Vatrano and add a decent d-man.

Try to win a round.

 

[HeartsAlive]

The guy just doesn't score big goals, right?

 

[bearcountry17]

Calling it right now, Loui is going to hit 30.

and can't blame him for not upping his trade value at the right time. good job, louis.

 

[TwineTickler]

Keep scoring Loui. That means we get a better package for you!

 

[TheBigBadB]

Doubt he gets traded. They haven't limited his ice time, he is still on the first PP unit and PK. They are going to either sign him or let him walk after the season

 

[Hali33]

Gonna miss Loui.

Right. He has been a disappointment for years, and now he's scoring goals on a contract year? Okay. Trade him or let him walk.

 

[DitClapper]

His OT stats are insane. I think they are up with Ovechkin's IIRC.

They are playing him to help him score more to drive up price.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Clutch goal. It's too bad this blue line isn't built to win. Take the Kelly cap hit & Lucic retained money & insert Boychuk into this lineup & this team would go on a good run with Loui on board. Really liking his game now.

Agree, There is ZERO chance he stays in Boston past the deadline ZERO

 

[TheBigBadB]

I have my doubts. They are in the playoffs and most teams don't trade one of thier top scorers. They sent down Miller and Morrow is in the stands, this isn't a team looking at the future. It's looking at now

career? because since 2006 season he has 6 OT goals (15th in NHL). ovechkin has 14.

It's something since 2010 or something like that. He has the most since then. I can't remember the actual stat but it's really good.

Then they better go out and get 4 Dman with all of our top prospects at the deadline. This team is fooling no one or beating no one with this group.

Agreed. Hopefully the Don sees that they have only beaten non playoff teams in the last month or so.

That isn't even close to a possibility.

There you go with real facts again.

You just like making some cry. I know it.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

That isn't even close to a possibility.

Oh well I guess they better trade him then. Paying him 6M for 5-6 years ? Can't do it ,just can't do it.

 

[Strange Universe]

Calling it right now, Loui is going to hit 30.

I am going with 31 in July.....

Eriksson has 9 career OT goals. Tied with malkin for 5th since 2006-2007

 

[Coach Parker]

Wasn't he on the third line tonight with Spooner and Beleskey was with Krejci and Pastrnak?

Preparing this team for post-Eriksson era?

Claude swapped Beleskey and Loui in the final 4 minutes when he was looking for a goal. I think he was just trying to get Beleskey and Spooner going as both had cooled off a bit.
