Just feels like someone is twitching on staff or management.. Somethings not right. Edler should be benched for a game, watch video, made to watch his latest mistakes vs how he used to play pre-injury.. The same goes for Hamhuis.. Tanev is starting to get injury prone, he gets rocked to often. .. Im going off topic %#@€ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler may not be up to previous years in fact since his back suregery I don't think he's ever played as well. Now if there was a string of prospects looking for his job ...maybe a benching or a rest might help but right now....he's the best Vcr has. This defensive core is terrible. How Barkowski made this club I have no idea...well I suppose it's an insight to how desperate the club is for D.

Im going off topic %#@€ Edler's problems last night (or the game before) were the same as pretty much everyone not named Sedin or Markstrom. Mental errors caused by a combination of a LOT of road games, a lack of depth/injuries and guys being forced to play above their pay grade. NUMEROUS other players also made glaring mistakes last night that could have led to goals if not for Markstrom. If it wasn't for him, we don't even make it to OT last night for an overworked Edler to make such a colossal brain fart of a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play through it? No its not an easy statement to say "bench Edler".. As a matter of fact my opinions in this moment to he and Hamhuis are based on play to date.. This season. And its NOT about finding someone better to replace them (each on a different night), its about sending a message .. I would rather lose a game without them in that cause, than play them through it, thinking everything is ok. The mistakes are consistent now,. There is a.pattern. Its NOT changing . Sorry guys, im not the one who needs schooling or coached here . Corrado is gone , his followers have to get over it. Biegga, Kennins, Pedan .. Could easily cover for a message to be sent to Edler & Hamhuis respectively. ... And if they're just tired , then they can rest.. and not risk injury because of that. Those are my reasons to my opinion. To get back on topic : Pedan should have been listed to play D at home against Dallas, he deserved it.. NOT sent to Utica.

It's not an 'excuse', it's reality. Newsflash: we're rebuilding, we're not a very good team. We lack depth and quality, notably in our top 4 D. That's not changing and benching Hamhuis or Edler is not going to make the team better. We were a fringe playoff team if things went well this year. Things aren't going well.

Fred65 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Corrado was a self inflicted pain, JB/Linden have never 'fessed up. you still fail to address your assessment...you're p!ssed with Edler I understand but before you start benching any one ..... and I can't think of any one other than Gillis FA signing Tanev that maybe shouldn't be sat out.....BUT who do you replace them with....that's the question and don't say Pedan it shows your lack of understanding.

Things aren't going well. I have said nothing about making playoffs, a cup, or expectation.. as a matter of fact, Its my opinion that rotating other Dmen in supports the objective of rebuilding or retooling.. That makes the team better. Your twisting things and trying to enlighten me to a bigger picture which i am well aware of. I say, rotate the D men. Its an answer,.. not an excuse.. which seems to be the opinion that your offering? You want to Flog a horse til it dies? Ride on J.R Dead Horses arent worth a thing.

Not being a playoff or cup team doesn't mean you pack it in. You still have to play the best you can with what you've got while planning for a better tomorrow.
