oldnews Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Sorry to see Edler suffer this crap injury misfortune. People love having a whipping boy - who ever commits the last turnover on the blueline usually qualifiies. There haven't been many of those this year, so Edler's stick-breaking or blocked shot attempts have stepped up into the void. Thanks for being the anchor of the blueline thus far - and having the best underlying numbers of the top 6, with the exception of the recently arrived Stecher, whose performance can't be separated from your presence on his pairing. https://stats.hockeyanalysis.com/ratings.php?disp=1&db=201617&sit=5v5&pos=skaters&minutes=25&teamid=29&type=corsi&sort=PCT&sortdir=DESC Edler is too much man for those twigs your stick manufacturer supplies you with - but obviously, he's to blame that modern hockey technology has been wrongfully exposed. Blame is our favorite currency on CDC. If I have one criticism, it might be to take less shots, particularly on the powerplay - I know Edler has scored his share in the past, but has been struggling in this aspect alone and has more options to move the puck to than in recent years - otherwise, no real complaints.

I've actually thought about this a lot I wonder how productive some of these players would be if they stepped away from composites and went to single body wooden sticks of the same type that Lidstrom used most of his career and Hull never deviated from. Seemed to work for them I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to work for them I guess I don't know, but Edler's stick supplier has some work to do to justify the cake they're raking in. The more broken junk, the more money they make. And the lost on ice opportunities are another level cost altogether. Edler doesn't seem to get the benefit of any doubt - no excuses - perhaps it's time to have the same expectations of the people supplying his tools.

Beary Sweet Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 huge blow for the team in my opinion. he has been consistently logging up 25-30 minutes without breaking a sweat. its not a huge loss by no means but the team will start to feel the loss of his presence if it all goes downhill. we do have the depth though. Biega played with heart last year and we also have Larsen alongside Tanev coming back soon. but they wont be able to log the amount of minutes other than Tanev that Edler takes. we will have to see how it goes to plan tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Sorry for Edler's injury but a great opportunity for the young guys. I don't see the sky falling in this scenario.

You'd think Edler would be complaining to the manufacturer. This has been going on for a few years now. If he hasn't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that a local engineering firm in Richmond looked into the Canucks issue with breaking sticks before, but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Never like to see a Canuck injured. That said, Tanev was supposed to be 10 days away from returning about 10 days ago, and the rest of the D look great, so no need to panic, unless further injuries hit. Of the upcoming games, my interest is hugely on the Toronto game, and I'd like to see a line up with no passengers. I want players who come to each other's defense out there. Not the worst time for Alex Edler to be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
