CanucksSayEh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm not saying anything nice about Edler this offseason, he came as close as 1 player can get to single handedly blowin the series. Until some beast performances next season, he stays in the dog house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2016 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 He doesn't deserve to be appreciated, i hope we can get a 3rd for his ufa rights next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 He will never be a Norris Trophy Nominee, when was the last time was an inconsistent defensive liability, who never takes interviews a Norris Nominee? He may be an all star once or twice again, but definitely not a Norris Nominee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 On topic, count me as one of Edler's greatest appreciators. He's the entire package, which is all the more impressive when you consider he was a little known mid round draft pick. All he has to do is put it all together and play a consistent game, which he is slowly starting to do. He's shown the offense, he's shown the defense, he's shown the physicality. He's shown the ability to fire outlet passes and quarterback the powerplay. All that's left for him to do is do all that fairly consistently. The sad thing is, when he does that he'll still have his detractors who will complain that he's not playing at an all star level every frigging game. The guy is a keeper and I hope he's signed to a 5 year extension. He's THE cornerstone of the Canucks' defense, just some people have yet to realize it.

cs2016 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Although Eddie may not be a Norris d-man at the moment, he is definitely top four worthy. Despite his bad plays near the end of the reg. season and in the playoffs, all he needs is confidence and a good shutdown top four d-man to pair up with. Confidence is key to all of Edler's plays and the shutdown d-man will allow Edler to move up with the offense, pinch and provide that offense we need from this offensive d-man and hopefully fill up some of the gaps that Erhoff used to do.

CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 He's been my favourite Canuck for the past few years. Even though he had a rough post season, he can bounce back. I believe in you Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tereKat Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 first- edler is still young for a dman. he just turned 26. he has all the skills - he just needs to be consistent. Lidstrom was 26 when he 1st became all star. 2nd- it takes time to be a consistent dman. Lidstrom was 31 when he received his first Norris. 3rd- edler is more physical than Lidstrom. so what i'm really trying to say is Edler is a keeper. he has the skills. he's got great attitude. he has the size. and he has the smarts. I think he will eventually get there - he'll be one of the top dmen in the league. barring any major issues- i think that the club will keep him. he's a home-grown talent. and knowing that he looks up to the sedins - he will probably also take a discount to stay as a canuck.

BRAVEMAN91 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Like Edler when he is on his game.. But he has got to do something about his stupid drop pass. That was so well scouted by the kings and the thing is, he never learned from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I appreciate Alex Edler too!!! I want him to hit like he does at the start of the playoffs but like that throughout the whole season, plus put up his points. A lot too ask, I don't think so. Edler is the man!!! One day people here will look at him like they do Ohlund and that is with deserved respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowtownCanuck Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Edler has been a great Canuck, he stepped onto the ice, looking like a seasoned veteran. My only criticism is his lack of aim on his amazing shot and his unlucky feet in the crease. I honestly think he should work with the goalie coach on his positioning in front of the net and how to angle and place his feet. I find it funny how many fans will "hate" a D-man for making some mistakes. It happens, get over it. How many fans wanted Willie Mitchell out of town, now he has a cup ring and a big contribution in the playoffs to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silfverberg Snipes Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I appreciate how he and Hamhuis almost singlehandedly gifted the Kings the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
