Sedin Brothers Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Coincidence? Does his offense make up for his lack of defense? Interestingly enough the next two players are Daniel (-3) and Henrik (-4) Honestly, can anyone say they're surprised? When JB said "We got Phillip Larsen to replace Yannick" this was my exact thought of how it would go. Still believe though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'NucK™ Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Pretty good representation actually (a rarity for +/-) The Sedins have only been effective on the PP where +s aren't awarded, and Larsen has not been putting up the points to offset his weakness on the boards in the d zone. Daniel and Henrik are not playing with confidence which is sad to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Does that number need to improve? Yes. If a -5 stretch happened in January would anyone notice? Doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bur14Kes17 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ya but he's "real good" at walking the line and making passes in tight spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 That's wonderful. Glad they brought in this secret weapon from Europe who was going to improve our PP and add scoring from the back end. I'm curious how many shots he's taken and what the percentage is of shots that actually hit the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 So everyone is going to assume he's this year's Edler... Doesn't matter. Once the PP clicks, he's going turn the -5 the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I don't see his defensive game as all that bad. I think it's more that the offense isn't scoring in the last few games. Larsen, however, should not be in the lineup against big teams who play a heavy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't think we can expect many goals from Eriksson with the way they're playing. Sedin's are scared to shoot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I haven't been impressed with him, but +/- is more a team stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guesso.. but they are supposed to be our elite players, not just 'playing well' compared to the rest. There's a night and day difference between when they are confident and threading passes, to when they are not and almost start to look like players who aren't even reading the game very well... I know they will regain their confidence again and hopefully Friday as they play well against the Oil, but the last few games haven't been great for them IMO.

Hairy Kneel Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Stecher should take his spot for a few games on the pp then we can compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler has 17 shots tied with Sutter for 2nd highest number of shots on net on the team. Henrik is the highest at 18 shots on net. Among the Fs - Virtanen is the 2nd furthest with an average shot length of 36ft for 8 shots on net. Horvat also has 8 shots that hit the net but from 26ft from the net. Henrik, Daniel, Hansen, Sutter and Horvat are all between 25 and 28ft. Eriksson and Baertschi shoot from the closest at 19ft with 10 shots on net for both.

AV's Coin Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Stetcher -1 in one game. Too early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 He's been fine. His offense and pinching and threat on the point makes up for it. He'll grow as a player and get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
