Edler's knuckler from center ice eludes Elliott
by from on (#2D6BM)
As Wayne Gretzky (and Michael Scott) once said, "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take."
Alex Edler demonstrated the accuracy of that phrase Saturday night against the Calgary Flames, firing a slap shot from just over center ice that knuckled its way past goaltender Brian Elliott.
The Canucks failed to record a shot on goal all game before Edler's long-distance goal that came nearly 13 minutes into the opening period.
Gretzky and Scott were clearly on to something.
