King Heffy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'll fully admit that I wasn't the biggest fan of Edler's play last year, specifically in his own zone. I saw too many mental mistakes, and all around poor decision making, that resulted in too many goals against. Forward to this year, Edler's been using his body positioning a lot better, pairing with Tanev to form an effective pairing. His pinches are a lot better timed, and he's much harder to beat out wide. He's been our best defenceman this year, and WD can't get all the credit for a better system. Props to Alex for stepping up and addressing weak areas in his game. Hopefully he continues to grow for us; he's been a key player this season. This is one case where I'm happy to eat a big plate of crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I was more worried about his back than anything else Turns out Torts' was indeed the one to blame, and he is just a Modern Era Mike Keenan, used to be good, now is just a goon coach who doesn't realize the league has evolved.

elvis15 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Wow. Now I've seen it all. This was basically the reason I put you on ignore, because it seemed like every post was unbridled Edler hate. Maybe you can come off ignore now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Took 10 years for him to develop, but I'm glad. Hope this Edler is here to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 We're all glad he's rebounded. To be fair, you had some reason to doubt him at times but people really needed to understand... It was all torts. Not edler. Go Canucks Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo.Horvat53 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think we all hated on him at some point But like all fans, we do it because we want our team to succeed, and we were just mad he wasn't succeeding. Go Edler! Great season so far, hope it continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe-in-blue23 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Good on you! More people need to do the same. I stood by Edler last year despite his mediocre season and I'm glad I did. I knew he was better than how he was playing and I think it had something to do with Tort's system as well. Bet everyone's glad management decided to keep him, huh? I remember when everyone was calling for his head last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm sorry .. as much as I like Edler, the team sure could do without his mental gaffes that cause so much turmoil in the defensive zone. Twice against LA tonight it happened and you could almost feel that the Kings were about to cash in. Scary stuff! Over all, Edler has made improvements this year.
