GDT: Game 82: Oilers @ Avs - 7:30 PM - SN1

[BlackDogg]

Wow that period went fast

 

[Mr Positive]

He is? He’s not even a top pairing D right now.

"Top pairing" is a label. Nurse has lots of positive attributes that we will need in the playoffs. He will have to rein in his problems but he's still an important part of the team

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Perry loves the box.

True in multiple ways

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Save pct. up to .500. Nice

Playoff shape activated

 

[FlameChampion]

Liked the shot by Broberg on the PP. showed some assertiveness.

 

[CupofOil]

Plus he's a very good Dman. Why do people want to toss so much vomit everywhere?

He has been very far from very good this season. I think the phrase "trainwreck" applies to Nurse post-All Star Break

In the last two series losses he was targeted by the opposing team.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Avs get a minimum 5 PPs a game as per league mandate

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

We really want to make Skinner break tonight dont we

He’s fine he’s a warm body tonight just like everybody else.

 

[iCanada]

To decide who starts? Idk boss

Every coach since MacLellan has told them media that Schwartz makes that call.

He needs a different d partner.

 

[sepHF]

He needs a different d partner.

at 9.25m Nurse should be the guy that lifts up his partner, but here we are

 

[Sra1974]

Oh yeah true, he just has to give permission. What I meant was no trade control so no team list.

Yes but I fully imagine if the team expects his permission he’s gonna say where am I going? And if he doesn’t like that he’s gonna say, nah I’m good.

Anyways he’s not going anywhere.

 

[Broberg Speed]

If Campbell's name is even whispered by media about this team again this season, we done.

you'd think your comment would get some likes but it got crickets... deep down you know

He has a ton to rein in. He is non physical anymore. His positives are few and far between this year. He would have to take a huge step up to be a good playoff guy this year.

 

[CupofOil]

He needs a different d partner.

Nurse has been the worst Dman on that pairing for a while now. Ceci has actually been quite adequate the last month or so.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Goal should be that Mackinnon doesn't win the art ross

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Haha Ceci is on a heater!

 

[CycloneSweep]

Yep. I’d argue that Nurse has been our worst D all season, based on play/cap/expectations. Ceci has been bad but imo has had more good moments. At least lately.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Only way Nurse is going anywhere is a compliance buyout.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Unleash Erne.

 

[rickysusedsht]

How the hell am I getting trolled with avalanche Stanley cup commercials...fu sports net

Unfortunately the only thing Oiler fans, on Twitter or social media, is his contract and that will always be their excuse. Some literally hate his guts. Some of the things I've seen and read. Just yikes

 

[gordonhught]

Ok.

Maybe KK is hoping that some of the younger players step up in this gsme. Maybe he wants to see who will compete in a gsme like this before finalizing playoff rosters.

Perhaps he is hoping that 86 and 55 will show more assertiveness.

I don't expect anyone to like a comment about a way our season ends with max depression. Among fans, and Campbell probably back down a dark mental health hole again too by the end of it.

Pray for Skinner and Pickard to find a way to stay in it.
