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.
