you forgot to mention that Loui Eriksson played in the World Cup of Hockey right before signing with the Canucks and played with the Sedins and had a very good showing in that tournament. As the Sedin Sedin Eriksson line did really well together so it looked like a match made in heaven.
Except for that own goal...
"Look out! NOO!"
he was fun in AZ, man embraced the King Louis meme and got to skate in 1000th game. Long Live The King
Regardless of his play on the ice, he was still a professional. With all the negative press and being benched, he still went to practice and gave 100% when he was on the ice (even if the results where not there). He also took Elias Pettersson under his wing, and having him stay with the Eriksson household.
True, but Loui's career is still one big mystery to me. As a Norwegian, we have a tendency to watch the Swedish national team in championships a lot.
I can still remember that powerhouse of a line Eriksson and the 2 Sedins were. They made a very mediocre Swedish team look really dangerous over night when they entered.
That Loui never managed to find some of that chemistry again- I still dont get it. He was such a classy player in Dallas, still great in Boston.
There must be some sort of lockerroom curse in Vancouver
"LOOOK OUT... NOOOOOOO"
If you know, you know
I love this series. Loie wanted to do so good on my Yotes but really... he was just an empty body. Idk why he could not shoot at all.
You missed one huge thing though. His concussion issues starting all the way back with Dallas. That had alot to do with his scoring getting worse every year.

And for a more sentimental individual achievement, he also got to form an all-Swede line with the Sedins during stretches with the Canucks. The line never really worked well but it's an accomplishment all the same.
@@AvsJoe Well that is a good one!
Never saw him have a good game in van
@@sparky3006 Really!
The guy had a promising career came to Vancouver scored in his own net on the 1st game and that was the symbol of his entire time in Vancouver we called it the curse of Eriksson. He's one of the only players that couldn't seem to play with the Sedin's either.
Canucks fan here, I know what happened to Louie. Some thing I asked a friend, jokingly many years ago, what ever happened to Uwe Krupp? I found out years later. Worth knowing.
He was good. As a Bruins fan, it was a little disappointing considering what was given up. However, with some of the stories from that time, I've always thought Seguin might have needed that trade as a wakeup call.
When he played in Vancouver, he seemed really casual like as if he looked at his bank account every day and said I am good.
He is called Håkan Hellström in sweden
They traded him for an even worse contract in OEL. You can do him next
Jim Benning was desperate to shore up his defense. Eckman Larson was known as a No. 1 defenseman. It makes perfect sense until you realize that what was being traded was the shattered remains of a No. 1 defenseman on a contract that was unwarranted at the time it was signed (2017-18 was the first year where he was off; John Chayka extended him that summer under the assumption it was a fluke).
@@BeastOfMetal1989 the OEL trade happened 2 years too late… OELs decline started in Arizona
@@masterbaiters1183 Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I said. The extension was arguably two years too late, in terms of when it kicked in, since he was already in decline by Fall 2017.
OEL is too expensive and never proved to be a good contract, but we did get Garland, and losing Eriksson was a blessing. 6million dollars a year, for six goals(2 of which were empty netters).
Every and any trade including Loui is a loss... unless your team trades him away. Prove me wrong...
I hope he will sign a contract extension with Frölunda he has been great lately. 😃
Läskig du e tobbe
Verkligen?
@@larsandersson5974 Ja
I remember watching that own goal in his debut game with the Cancucks. It's a shame his career became a joke after signing with them.
That's all I remember him for actually - that, and scoring empty netter's.. how fitting
As a Canucks fan, this equals...pain
I was just wondering what king Loui was up to :)
Loui is really good for Frölunda in the ongoing Swedish play-off.
Please do WEH2 Alexei Ponikarovsky.
hand full of teams 0:45 västra frölunda is the same team as frölunda. The more you know
The Canadian Market eats up talent and spits it out. It's unfortunate as I'm a Canadian myself. Not to mention how brutal hockey can be on players. Something I had no idea about until I saw the documentary about drug use in Pro Hockey featuring Ryan Kesler, Quincy and Ian White.
🙌🏽♾💯
The signing that put the Canucks behind 10 years
Also the 6x36 by the Canucks was due to his play with the Sedins internationally. They hoped that would transition to the NHL team... Boy did it not. Those were painful years to be a fan of this team, at least its better now!! wait...
replaced with OEL and myers
ahhhh Jim Benning
Zac Rinaldo next? Not a huge name but I think it would make a good vid
That dude was a fun character. Hell of a fighter too.
He was never the same after big John Scott buried him
His bounce back year in Boston was because he was playing with Bergeron
that would make a lot of big bounces
Drink every time u hear "potted"😂
Can you not do a video on Whatever happened to Pascal Leclaire and i love your channel 🏒
Eriksson’s last year in Boston, the team was not a good team. they rolled the dice, and did not trade him. teams were offering a first, a good prospect and a roster player. by that years trade deadline it became very apparent that he had no intentions of resigning in Boston. which was a mistake. the team missed the playoffs.
bruins went 42-31-9 his last year in boston they had a ton of injuries that year just barely missed the playoffs
Vancouver is where careers go to die
Tru that . Mark messier comes to mind , Matt’s sundin . Hahahahahahahaha Vancouver is the joke of the hockey world
he was inactive on the ice too. He had a few good years but he lost his talent and it was all downhill after that. He did cash in on a big contract and got a free cheque as he was basically missing in action for about 4 years
One of the worst signings by Vancouver in our history
that is saying something - Messier has to be up there -, OEL - is going to be right with it - although it is like an add on - to the Eriksson deal
@@pjpredhomme7699 OEL was traded for, not signed by the team
Pro tip - ask that kind of question (whatever happened to???) and you’d best not make me sit through a complete history of the player before telling me where he ended up.
What ever happened to Sven Baertschi
Had a bad injury and then never came back as good as he was before it.
The first goal he ever scored in a Canucks uniform
Was against his own team 🤣😝
Those older Dallas Stars jerseys were so much better than their current ones
You ever pick a player that's been retired long enough for people to wonder where they've been? Jesus
why are you so mad about it haha
Lmaoo why do you sound mad? This is what he just did didn’t he?
Loui was terrible in van and just took up a spot
lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was never good. He was never average... so why ask the question?
Boston are terrible at trades ...and drafting
Colin M wrong
Guess you haven’t really been paying attention
who cares?
