That was a pic of the goal from Monday and he tweets it right after Gaunce and Kenins gets sent down? He's probably just psyched the door is still open for him and celebrated it in a poor manner. Accidental BM, I'd say.
It is what it is.
that doesn't mean he performed well, it means the unit was very good. Maybe it has something to do with the twins?
Edler was outperformed on the PP by Yannick Weber last year.
Would you consider Weber an elite offensive D? I wouldn't.
Edler had 22 pts (2 years ago), and then 31 points last year. And he gets fed prime time ice time and loads of PP time.
Simply put, he is not very good offensively.
He gets fed prime ice time because he's our best all round defender. He gets loads of PP time cuz he's been our best option year after year. Is he Duncan Keith out there, no ofcourse not. But he's on the first unit for most teams and on the PP for pretty much every team. I'd love to see him on the 2nd unit where his one timer can be a focal point, but that won't happen until we get better options for the 1st unit.
Maybe Weber/Vrbata give the Sedins 2 one-timer options at the point, freeing Edler up to be the shooter on the 2nd unit. But over the years Eddie has proven he's a good PP player. Not elite, but good.
