Finish the hits and be tough. But stay away from the bullshitTeam needs to play it cool on Friday.
When they play like hotheads their game completely falls apart.
Kostin and everybody else listened, Nurse didn't, I'm not entirely surprised. Kind of looks stupid in retrospect Nurse bouncing of the ice on cloud nine after he just bagged himself a possible suspension. Any other time to have this fight, of course would've been better.I think its a bs suspension and not the spirit of the rule. But Nurse makes so many bad decisions. Its even worse when Draisaitl was telling him to not worry about it.
Vegas's pairs without Pietrangelo =
Martinez - Theodore
McNabb - Whitecloud
Hague - X (?)
Oilers pairs without Nurse =
Ekholm - Ceci
Kulak - Bouchard
Broberg - Desharnais
I hate to say it, but I think we need Nurse alot more than they need Pietrangelo.
True. That's fair. But then why did a fight like this, in the last 5 minutes where one player didn't want to fight, get rescinded?
How do these two decisions make sense?
I like his take on this though.Seixeiro is the NHL's programmable drumming monkey, him taking a side one way or the other is worrisome.
It will be a big test. Broberg is not nurse but I think this game ek gets a ton of minutes to compensate, which is workable for one game.Broberg was +1 in the 5 1 loss. I've wanted him to get minutes for a while. Hope he comes up big next game.

They have Hutton, but need to fill a RHD, so it might be Korczak or Pachal a couple of kids.Vegas's pairs without Pietrangelo =

If anyone thinks that Nurse came "flying in" they probably need to re-watch the play. The Vegas player started throwing the first nine punches.Not sure what you mean? He came flying in from the blueline and started throwing punches. If that isn't an instigator call I'm not sure what is.
Some people on here wanted to not re-sign Ryan for next year, citing his age. I think, as long as he still has his wheels, his brain and hockey IQ will carry him forward for a while. I think he's a must sign for next year as well.
You knew that was coming.
It may be the rule.. but it doesn't make any sense.
Absolutely not in the spirit of the rule. The refs should know better than give in instigator in that situation.
Nurse and Woodcroft should also know better.
Just another display of incompetent officiating.It did not, I assume they're going to gutlessly drop the info during the game or something to try to keep it quiet.
They have Ben Hutton. I take Broberg all day long over Hutton. Ekholm and Kulak will see double duty, Broberg 12 mins. The issue will be matchups with Vegas getting the last change but Broberg is fine with transporting and moving the puck. I think for one game we will be fine.
Petro on the other hand should miss the entire series for attempting to injure.

Refs let the game get out of hand last night. Was brutalJust another display of incompetent officiating.
PVR is great to use, you can re-watch plays and see what happened.Totally disagree. If you have two guys who are already engaged and roughing each other up, and a fight breaks out, that's one thing and happens all the time during the course of games. This was completely different. What Nurse did was the very definition of instigating.
