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

[McTonyBrar]

Playoff shape activated

Why does his rookie playoff year matter so much now? It was his rookie season.

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

I don’t blame Nurse for his contract but I do blame him for his subpar play.

 

[McTonyBrar]

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

That's actually a bit of a set play by Broberg and Holloway in the AHL.

I've seen them score a couple times like that

 

[dssource]

Which line?

Clouder's line

 

[Bryanbryoil]

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

I loved that "challenge" from him on that GA. What a f***ing tire fire he is right now. Time in the AHL would be great if he didn't have a NMC.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Poor gags he looks crushed

 

[McTonyBrar]

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

He hasn't been as good but... I mean what about his partners? lol


I bet if that Tanev deal had gone through, he'd be a lot better

He’s getting paid to elevate his partner. Which is what Ekholm is doing.

Holy crap. He's overpaid. We get it dude but you do know that the Seth Jones contract, in that summer, set the market??

It's the reasone why he got that much.

If that f***ing moron hadn't got that much money, Nurse would've gotten 7-7.5 max.

This was Nurse's agents fault and not his. He didn't demand 9.25 mill lmao

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

They've played together for 2-3 weeks... Vinny was on that pair before

Ekholm.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

If Avs don’t score 10 tonight, they ain’t winning the cup.

 

[oXo Cube]

If Gagner doesn't walk out of his playing career right into a front office post with the Oilers then something is wrong with the world.

 

[McTonyBrar]

This board is going to use this nothing game to rip Nurse LMAO.

I love it.

 

[OilerTyler]

Thank you for showing Skinner some mercy, Knob

 

[North Cole]

Why did we even start him?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

No score in the Knights game.

 

[unicornBLOOD]

so sad that it took Knob a period to realize how stupid the move to start Skinner, and even worse, leave him as long as he did. I expected a much smarter decision from Knob.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Poor gags he looks crushed

Wonder if he hangs em up after the playoffs.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Gods speed Pickard.

 

[ManByng]

Alright I'm not watching.

Got off work a half hour ago and it was already 4-0 Avs with just 10 minutes gone in the 1st. I won't bother watching the snore fest either, got lots to do on the computer !

I love it.

I will choose to rip him for being terrible at defense, screening his goalies, giving the puck away within 3 seconds of every possession, icing it constantly, and getting himself suspended in the playoffs after we had the advantage. Not watching much of this game

 

[BlackDogg]

Now we know for sure it was the wrong move...

 

[rickysusedsht]

Wonder if he hangs em up after the playoffs.

Was thinking the exact same thing

 

[FlameChampion]

Now we know for sure it was the wrong move...

Its just dumb because they literally could of started Skinner on Wednesday

 

[gordonhught]

Was thinking the exact same thing

The guy had double hip surgery. He can call it a career with no regrets.
