NightHawkSniper Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just another thing to add to the list of reasons people hate the Canucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Agreed! Edler n Cory for Benn n erikkson? Hey at least we both agree on trading eddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 There are other ways of taking a player out of the game, like shutting him down, or hitting him with legal body checks. Not kneeing him. If the Canucks made it to the 2nd round just because we took out Couture, I can't even say I would be happy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 He had 49 points last year with a crappy playoff. Not too shabby for someone who sucked the whole year as you suggest. I'd call it one bad year where he's looked suspect or at least not up to his usual standards. Of course, some will forget that he's been injured for the better part of those 12 months but meh.

hockeyville88 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Careless and stupid A very dangerous play Edler has become all about the desperation plays lately. He's no longer the steady, calm, cool D man we used to have Hope Staal is ok. He looked like he was in agony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I hope Staal is alright. Lets trade Edler before he becomes even more dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffraff Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Who cares! Would u not respect pronger or chara on our team? As long as the player helps the team then it doesn't matter how. Not comparing Edy to chara n prongs but comparing the dirty action... fans will love u if u make them win. The more opposition fans hate u the better.

DeNiro Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not intentional in the least. Just Edler shutting off his brain again and making a careless play. If you watch it, it's actually Staal with his leg out. But Edler makes no attempt to avoid it. Hopefully Staal's alright, that doesn't look good.

Tangelos Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I don't mind a bit of dirtiness in our canucks because dirty teams win cups (Boston, Chicago, LA) so this makes me like Edler a little more. I still don't like him enough to keep him though since he's an absolute liability every time he steps on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 You win a series by outplaying the other team, not injuring their best player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 You may claim to be 100% vancouverian but you obviously havnt played enough hitting hockey to know the difference between mean and cheap, intentional or not. And Pronger is cheap in any uniform. Chara doesn't even come close to Prongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaGuy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Edler actually pulls his leg in last second. It was Staal hanging his leg. No intent, not dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Careless, but not intentional. Looks like he goes to hit Staal in the shoulder, Staal dips his body out of the way but his leg's still in the way and Edler catches him full on with the knee. Definitely an avoidable play if Edler had come in with better body position... its not a vicious play, but careless for sure. Although I must say its hilarious to see people using this as an excuse to bash on Edler. What's even funnier is seeing posters calling him terrible all year long, then saying we can trade him for a top-6 forward - that would imply that you're aware he has a lot of value, no? I think he's just been misused here as of late. Being given too many minutes, played in situations he shouldn't be in, missing Ehrhoff as well. Not to mention when you have a major surgery like he did, the ailment doesn't always get healed completely. What's up with him, I don't know, but all of you dismissing him as "terrible" are being extremely narrow-minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Looks like he will be getting a call from Brendan Shanahan real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Green Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not intentional but careless. Something is noticeably wrong with Edler. Specifically his decision making and reaction time. Is he on painkillers or something? (serious question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
