Joel Edmundson

What's especially dumb about it that makes it stand out from you having read posts on HFBoards for almost twenty years, let alone what you've read off-board?

That's not even the worst part of his specific post - it's technically flaming to say that those who disagree with you "are on drugs" (although even then, you managed to equal him with your response).

Please elaborate.

Never said he/she was on drugs. I agreed with most of their point.

However, plenty of really good first pairing defenseman or even #1s have gone minus. Especially when it was something silly like -4. Plus/minus is only an effective stat in very specific scenarios.

I said the worst part of their post, not the worst part of your post.

Ah my bad, I thought you were implying my post meant that. But yes, you're right.

No worries - reading it now, I said it pretty poorly. Cheers!

Paint me surprised. Is he by far the worst on the Habs - ie is it a result of team play?

Wasnt he Petry's partner when Petry put up his best seasons?

Edmunson used to be a reliable defensive defenseman not long ago. Read 4th or worst D. Havent watched Mtl this year, but I think being slotted as the best or 2nd best dman is just not his place

Edmundson has not been the same since the 2021 finals.

He's missed alot of time with chronic back issues since that run. I think he's pretty much cooked with respect to being anything more than a depth option.
