Sixteen W's Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 According to TEAM1040. Even if it's only four games in, this is pretty amazing. Both +5 already. Tanev especially deserves a lot more recognition for what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's actually pretty solid But tell them to get us excited and report back when Edler stops doing that drop pass THAT would be news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Great first pairing, even when compared to the rest of the league. Underrated elsewhere, but also in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can't say I would expect 0 goals against them by now yet... But I was confident they are one of the best pairs in the division. Hopefully they prove to be THE best. GO CANUCKS GO love em both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJamIam Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 One of the top d pairings in the entire league last year by any metric. Add some more support from their forwards and other pairings, and I'm not to taken aback. But even I'm surprised at how Edler is playing like a man possessed. He broke up a 3 on 2 tonight by out-muscling 2 Kings on the boards with one arm each and came away with the puck. He also threw some big hits, jumped up plays and stood up guys at the blue line all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 This pairing has taken another step forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 don't jinx it lol. but seriously they have been great so far and 7/8 points is a big part of how good our defense has been. I expect nothing less then the two best dman on the team imo(hamhuis is close) to be leading the way with good stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragoedia Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Tanev has made it easier for Edler to be a better player by being in charge of making good plays with the puck, using his positioning and stick to break up plays, and covering Edler when he is out of position. Edler has made it easier for Tanev to be a better player by being physically strong enough to prevent players from getting the puck, winning puck battles, and making smart pinches. The two complement each other very well as a defensive pairing. They make each other better players. The longer they play together, the better it gets it seems as well. It's pairings like these that win games. A big deal is made about Norris cup winners being necessary to win playoff games, but what does every Norris winner have? A solid player who they have great chemistry with. Chemistry is the most important part of team building. It's why the Sedins have been so effective for so long. Many really good players slump or decline after changing linemates. Sometimes, players are at their best with certain players. I hope they keep up the chemistry; their play for the past season and a bit (only 4 games) has been all we could have asked for. Now if only we could get the same from the bottom 4!

blackpluto96 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Slowly turning into a bona fide first pairing. Tanev has been recognized, as a advanced stats darling and also handsomely rewarded with a nice contract. Well-deserved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMash Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's actually pretty solid But tell them to get us excited and report back when Edler stops doing that drop pass THAT would be news He'll replace it with more slappers and wrist shots into the other times shins. Edler's the man, but watching him try and get shots through is hilarious on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 What about Hansen? He's even better at +6 on the season. Tied for 1st in the league if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 What about Hansen? He's even better at +6 on the season. Tied for 1st in the league if I'm not mistaken. Remember according to CDC he's easily expendable and we should trade him as he doesn't bring much to the team that we can't just easily replace with someone else.
