L'Orange Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Edler has peaked. Time to trade him before the NTC kicks in and then we can't. His zenith has passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagofcats Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Edler has worked his A off to get to this level. A man like that doesn't just give up. He deserves and has earned some patience from the coaching staff. He sacrificed his back for god sake. That could still be an issue, who knows. You are all the same people that bashed Raymond too I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Why the frack can't he keep the puck in on the offensive blue line? These guys work on their hand eye cordination every day. If the puck us not on the ice, you can bet it bounces over his stick. What the hell is wrong with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Bring back Ohlund and/or Salo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 No Edler has not given up. Like some people have mentioned, he doesn't look 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Put him on the third pairing, limit his minutes, but keep him on the PP. He's playing too much I think. And for godsakes, get whatever he's smoking into the Team Store. ps thanks for digging up that article CanucksLegacy, good relevant info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahf149 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hes having a bad season, maybe his back isnt the same as it used to be...he did have surgery on it recently...the only people who really know whats going on is him and the team...we shan't speculate.

Raph Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Edler has never been a reliable go-to guy. He's always needed the support of teammates to elevate his game. He needs that puck mover (Ehrhoff) or that veteran guy (Ohlund/Salo) to fall back on. When the weight falls on him, he can't handle it. He's good as #4 defenseman, but falls apart when given too much responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Rough patch, he seems to elevate his game in the playoffs. It's a messed up season and may be giving him problems if he stays healthy I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamasutra Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Either his confidence is shot to hell or he's injured. Hope it doesn't cost the Canucks more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Could it be the 'first year after signing a huge contract' syndrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_devil Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Biggest factor gotta be coaching. Not one of their top Dmen have shined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sestito29 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 He just signed a 30 million dollar contract. Took his foot off the gas, doesn't have/need the hungry type of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The way I see it most of our defense has not played up to snuff, so to call out Edler alone seems kinda unfair. Having said that, yeah, he is having (aside from his points) one hell of a stinker year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks fan in chicago Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So just because Edler has a few bad games we all start hating on him again. I think we need to calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheCrease Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 No he hasn't given up, but I DO feel he needs to have his a** sat for a few games as either a wake up call, or to heal up a bit if there is a nagging injury. I would rather sit him for the above mentioned, as well give the other guys a chance to play. Once they get into stride it is a better evaluation of what we do have for depth, and may also make the forwards step it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If he's nursing injury, then he needs to be pulled. He can't keep playing like this, does nothing but hurt the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
