:laugh: Roussel is now just a 'smaller player'. His fighting majors say otherwise.

I think you have it the other way around. Gutless Roussel shakes his gloves off to catch players by surprise, and he doesn't care how small they are.

He's like 5'11 190 vs Nurse who's 6'4 220. Quite the difference yes.

not sure which exchange your talking about but do you really think roussel was a random smaller player he was targeting? or roussel was doing roussel things and he went to tune him in. Its not like hes going after Petterson or hughes. Guys like roussel, marchand, gallagher, tkachuk bring it upon themselves with their style of play. Nurse has fought lucic a number of times he doesn't pick his spots, if anything he fights in stupid situations and it hurts the oilers

Was like 2nd game of the year I think. Can't remember if it was Roussel exactly, just assuming as I'm not sure who else it would've been. I know it was someone shorter than 6'. Don't recall a particular cheap play leading to it either more just a battle & Nurse was eager to go. Could be wrong.

Point was more about MacEwen (being Nurses size) could take him no problem, which got laughed at.

Isn’t McDavid going to set a new record this year for the amount of goals a single player has been in on for a team?

This two man team philosophy isn’t going to work very well beyond the second round

McDavid in on every goal, as per usual. Excited to see him in the playoffs.

Good bounce back for Demko. And nice to see Rathbone get his first goal.

Those are my takeaways.

last time I saw he was in on a ridiculous 54% but no idea what it’s at now.

In today's NHL that's ridiculous, but I'm betting it's not as good all-time.

It's been a very long time since I looked this up... Like, years, but if I'm not mistaken, the year that Yzerman scored 155, he was involved in half of Detroit's goals.

I'd rather have two supertalented players ala EDM than a bunch of good but not great players.

It's like the NBA- do you want a team that's too deep or Two Deep?

And people laugh when I call it a two man team, absolute shit depth

Pujjiarvyi, Nurse, Barrie, RNH- that's not terrible depth.

And of course you'll probably crow about MTL because they have no special players but DEPTH!

In the playoffs depth maybe is a concern with the Oilers. I can see opponents taking out smaller less experince players like Yamamoto, Bear, Jones, and Neal with his good playoff history but recent injuries and then the 2 franchise players.

NBA is a terrible comparison, a single player can and has won championships

That’s it though, it’s McDrai and then a couple ok depth players and it drops off a cliff

EDM's playoff potential will come down to this- would you rather bet on a team with two A+ players but not the deepest or a team with no A+ player gamebreakers but a lot of depth?
