Is anyone surprised? You play not to lose instead of play to win you are going to do what you're trying to prevent. 

 

It's brutal. It doesn't make sense, the instant we get possession it's instantly cleared. Clear possession, no pressure, not in a dangerous area, and still all we do is clear the puck down the ice. Like WTF??

 

The best way to prevent goals being scored is not by &^@#ing turtling and giving them chances left and right, it's by keeping the puck away from the trailing team.

Yeah, punish the guy for loving the city and wanting to be here.  We should absolutely re-sign our best defenseman who's going to take a discount in exchange for stability for his family.  I'll take the guy who's loyal to the team and wants to stay over a guy who handcuffs a team with a short list of teams he's willing to go to but demands a trade.  Hopefully Edler retires as a Canuck and takes his rightful spot in the ROH.

He should be moved while he still has value... like Hamhuis should have been... like everyone else not named Sedin (or Linden) should have been.  We have been in a rebuild for how many years now?  We needed to be able to move this guy, or at  least have the option of doing it.  Does everyone who likes to play here get to stay... and retire here. 

 

2 things: (1) next year, with luck, we will have more depth on D, and won't need Edler.   Hughes, Juolevi, maybe Woo, maybe the return of Tryamkin, maybe a UFA signing... 

               (2) Except for a couple of overtime/late goals by Edler, he was not very good a lot of the time this year.  And he was out with injury far too much, again.  And he is older at the start of next year...= more injury, even slower.  We can't move on til he moves on.

Both Nashville goals tonight are suspect / controversial.  I don't blame TG for looking at the refs like that.

Honestly, tonight of all nights, if the coach called out the refs in the postgame press conference it wouldn't surprise me...
