How the fuck can Edler be mad to be out of the game ? He went straight to Staal without breaking ! For sure it's misconduct, you can't kill a player's career like that.
Lost all respect for edler he didnt even try to play the body it looks as if he intently goes after him. Then he throws his stick like come on dude you might have ruined his career i really hope marc staal lights him up next year.
Edler gets 5 game suspension (rest of world cup + some games in Olympics). This is faaar to much… Compare this with Ryan Getzlaf's hit on Mikus last world cup ( watch?v=FiTM_4WVR6w ). Getzlaf only got 1 game suspension. Imo Getzlaf's kneeing was alot worse, Mikus even tried to dodge the hit but he couldnt.
Even the cleanest players occasionally make a dirty play. I'm sure Edler feels awful about this. I was also glad to read that the prognosis for Eric Staal was positive, that he won't need surgery and will be ready in time for next season.

clean hit
I'm a huge canucks fan but this is an absolute shit play
I dont hes mad coz of the penalty, but coz of that bad hit. He know what he did and curses himself for it
Nucks fan. That was fucking brutal. What an irresponsible reckless play.
Edler does not move his leg and he skates straight, Staal is just unlucky that he does not see Edler. Not much to be upset about.
Yeah that was a stupid play from Edler…is Vancouver home growing dumbasses or something?
