Honestly, I don't put any stock into what the coaches say about Nurse either way. This time of year the "games" have already begun.

No doubt, the info will be limited and jaded. But as fans, I think we'll know once the playoffs start if he is affected or not.

Oscar Klefbom - Summer surgery - Shoulder - Out for season, probable career ending.

Why would Russell by our #1 RD?

Why would Russell by our #1 RD?

Im being sarcastic. He was listed as the top pairing D on our pre game line up.

Thank goodness this is Gregor. Knowing his sources, expect Nurse back for game 1, no problem

 

[McJadeddog]

ugggg, that is not good news at all. Everybody was hopeful that they were just playing it safe/careful with Nurse, but it sounds like it is a legit injury that might push his availability past the start of the playoffs. Even if he is available, it sounds like he won't be anywhere near 100%.

Basically everyone else said it doesn’t look that bad. Gregor doesn’t know anything. If he’s right, it’s a coincidence

 

[Broberg Speed]

So it turns out Elliot Friedman didn't know shit and is a fabulist bag of wind after all.

Whatever it was must've really kicked his ass. Flu or norovirus maybe? There's been a really lousy cold going around here with really bad congestion and a cough.

Expect nurse back next game knowing his sources

Little update from my end on Nurse. Word is that the team wants to play him against Vancouver on Friday if possible. Get him a little game pace going into playoffs. I expect that if he does go it will be reduced minutes. A “conditioning” game so to speak. Obviously this is dependant on how the affected leg is feeling but the vibe around it is good, at least from the source I have.

Not exactly great that Nurse hasn't even skated yet, and our first playoff game is Monday (in 4 days). Not getting good vibes that he'll be ready, or if he is ready he'll be anything close to healthy.

They will provide the maximum amount of time to recuperate until he needs to skate before the start of the playoffs. It’s not necessary to attempt to will the worst into reality, IMO.

It’s okay to be at peace with whatever the reality of the situation is, good or bad

Well yeah, of course I'm at peace with it, can't control it at all obviously, so no use freaking out about it. I'm just saying it would be better if had skated by now, and the first game being so close likely means he won't be anywhere close to healthy, even if he does play. Not the end of the world or anything, I think we can still win the series without Nurse.

In this case I don't believe Nurse not skating indicates anything concerning. I could easily see them resting him completely even if he is ready to be skating.

LA is missing Drew Doughty for months and we're complaining about missing Darnell Nurse for a week? First world problem.

I'm detecting you're consuming Philosophy breakfast Cereal lately. I kind of approve. heh

McD and Drai not playing! For once the Oilers do the right thing and park their stars. This is what SHOULD occur. Would be foolish to play everybody in a B2B and then only a weekend to reset for playoffs on Monday. I would've sat them for BOTH games though. But this is progress.

 

[Stoneman89]

Any word as to who is taking the place of Batman and Robin?
