CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 4 hours ago, Mackcanuck said: His ice time has actually gone up since then. Baumgartner has been poorly managing the minutes for the D-core. Surprised that he got an extension, if anything, this year should've been a wait and see kind of year. I look squarely at the Bo Horvat penalty and how that was managed from the bench. That unit including Edler and Tanev got stuck on the PK for the full 2 mins duration. Beagle takes a penalty, and Baumer elects to send Edler and Tanev right back out. They were clearly gassed leading to Tanev getting hurt by a shot, and Edler looking totally spent. TG and Baumer need to manage minutes wayyyy better. We have the depth now, time to use it. If they aren't careful Edler is going to get hurt and it will be one that should've been avoided by limiting his minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyndall2 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Edler is what you see. A body filling a position with flashes of brilliance now and again. The biggest setback in my opinion is him taking unnecessary penalties. If you have chased a guy into the corner great. Staple him there or get back into position and let the back checkers take over. He ends up reaching and hooking time and time again. Then realizes he is out of position. This could be said for all our defense but it seems Edler is good for one or two bonehead penalties a game. The PK, although pretty good just can't be relied on to bail him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that the coaches would play him more reasonable minutes, but I think they are sheltering Quinn (for the time being) and don't really want to rely too much on Benn.

MattJVD Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Elder's next point will tie him with Alex Burrows for 14th in all time Canucks scoring. Edited November 26, 2019 by MattJVD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 In fairness, sometimes one can’t look at Edler and think that the same player is playing that played the game before, but in fairness to Edler, he plays hurt a lot because we pretty much need him to play every game. He blocks a ton of shots and takes (and delivers) a ton of heavy hits. In a perfect world, Juolevi would not have missed so much development time through injury so that he could be ready to take over Edler’s role when Edler is not 100% - good for Edler and good for Juolevi’s development.

We play some good teams in that 2 week stretch. Fingers crossed we go .500 or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydog Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Our depth is much better than previous years. I believe we will do just fine over the next 2 weeks without Eddy. If games are lost it wont be attributed to Eddys absence as much as some may believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Another poster claims Edler's shots from the point on the power play are just fluff and not very good. So I will just post the Vancouver Canucks ALL TIME NHL LEADERS below: Oh look, Edler is the 2nd best Canuck defense man in history for ppgs. The narrative that his shot is crap on the pp is ridiculous imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler's physical game is sorely missed. Other than Benn the backend does not have much physicality. That is where Tryamkin could step in and shine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious as to those same stats over the last 5 years or so, because it seems like every year when he goes down, we suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Two more assists and Edler will tie Dennis Kearns in all-time assists with 290. Eddie keeps slowly but surely knocking down all the defensemen records. He's close to Salo for PPGs as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Edler has been lights out since his return. In 4 games, he has 5 assists and is +9. Tonight, with 2 assists he also tied Dennis Kearns' 290 assist record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 No surprise this team goes on a winning streak when Edler returns. He's scoring at a 50 point pace and is by far our MVP. This team can score without Petey, Brock or Miller, but with Edler out we've seen the team crumble. With him back he gives us so much confidence. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
