I wonder what gives? Superstition?

Maybe next year for Stecher if he decides to make the number switch to #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Edler, Tanev, etc.... notice how Stetcher actually moves parallel to the blueline to open up a shooting lane? Edler has got to be the most stationary pointman I've seen in years.

theilluminati Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) I wonder if his drastic reduction in shot totals is due to fatigue or other teams starting to figure out his role and are taking away his lanes and forcing him to pass or miss the net. 60 shots his first 20 games and 33 his last 21 games. Half as many shots. Edited January 28, 2017 by theilluminati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half as many shots. Reality is it's probably both, but to me it seems more of the latter. Teams are blocking way more of his shots. Edit: 60 shots in 20 games is an incredible amount. Not many defensemen average 3 shots per game. Edited January 28, 2017 by Wilbur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Man, this kid isn't racking up the assists at an insane rate, but his stretch passes are gorgeous. I've seen so many Canuck goals come off his passes. A good sign as he continues to grow and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm just a bit worried about having Stecher out with the Twins and Edler. While, he's a battler and good with stickchecking, he's easily out-muscle'd by bigger forwards. Considering that Edler can be iffy at times on defense and the Twins aren't great in their own zone either, you have 4/5 players who are weak defensively on-ice at the same time. Ehrhoff worked because he's more experienced than Stecher and during the time when Edler and the Sedins peaked, thus they were controlling the play in the offensive zone. Since the Sedins has gotten even slower, and Edler still haven't been stabilized, maybe it's better to have Troy out with Horvat and Baertschi instead, since they play a more up-tempo game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, perhaps Horvat's line can dominate in a similar way (though not likely to the same degree) as the twins used to, making Edler less exposed playing with them.

In college he played only half as many games, with lower level of competition and less travel. Also.... after a few slapshots that got blocked, leading to goals against, maybe he's just more timid in pulling the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Stecher passed the immortal Matt Bartowski on his way to 238th in all-time Canuck scoring with his assist last night. 237.

nickels Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Think Stetcher has been one of the few real positives to come from this season. Probably is running out of gas a little, but love his work ethic and motor. Combined with his great attitude, look for him to come back a year older,wiser and stronger, and be a fixture in our top 4 for many years. Not bad for a FA agent signing. Need more with consistent effort like he and Bo. If only some of the vets would bring the same effort every shift...especially our so called role models.

Zhukini Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Next year will be intersesting, we saw it with Ben and can probably expect to see a little bit of a regression. Doesn't change his skill set though, and he will hopefully be putting up 35-40 points for us constantly when we are primed to make another run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, I know you were purposely understanding it). Stecher is amazing. The fact that this guy is as good as he is at such a young age speaks to the very high skillset and IQ that he needs in order to compensate for his smaller frame. If this guy is where he is at already, imagine where he will be if he puts on a bit more weight and gains more experience. I love watching him play - he rarely makes mistakes and his view of the ice and developing plays is absolutely outstanding. Really looking forward to seeing what this kid's ceiling is.
