Nuge looked like rookie Nuge tonight, through and through.
He's playing like he did during the World Cup. Doing anything he can offensively and shutting it down playing as a 2 way C. Love it.
I'd only argue that with Nurse, who has been stellar and probably our most consistent player.Nuge has been playing great the whole year. Has easily been the best overall Oiler this season.
He doesn't want to leave like Eberle. Dude looks great. He has easily been our best forward this year.Nuge looked like rookie Nuge tonight, through and through.

Still haven't seen replacement do that, so I wouldn't say that.Spawn praises Nuge's play (sort of). I've seen it all!
Also yeah, I kind of wish the league just played 3 on 3 all the time so we could just watch McDavid and Draisaitl work this kind of magic constantly. Amazing. Almost a reverse of the last OT winner.
Is winning greater than losing? Discuss
That goal from Drai and McD masks a lot of things...just like last game against the Isles where no one talks about how Drai flubbed the puck that had the play go the other way, and then let's the puck go right by him to Tavares, and then him and McDavid already start to fly the zone...Just as it was with the Islanders game, yay for the win but my god there are a lot of issues with this team. It's important to get wins while they are playing like **** but they really need to get their **** together.
I don't think the game was boring whatsoever, but I do agree that we played like shit for a large part of it. That third period, like a lot of third periods this season was absolute garbage.Yeah got the 2 points but they were terrible. I mean sports is meant to be entertaining, that was like watching paint dry.
Good, was a pathetic effort, guy is just garbage this year, Malone would be better in the 4th line role IMO, bigger faster stronger, not on the powerplay, lots of positivesLetestu didn't get another shift after his effort on the second NJ goal.
James Neal come on down!Nuge is pure filth with the puck skills, man if he could only get a true finisher on his wing we wouldn't be talking about secondary scoring. Like Ever!
Man, McDavid has checked out.
You wouldn't know by looking at hfboards.Did we win?
So nice to see him have such a strong start to the season.2 points for Nuge. Excellent, let that confidence groww
I was joking. He's just in a small slump (yet producing points). I'm not worried about him at all.Has to be something wrong, nothing else makes sense.
