Also McDavid took a interference penalty mid way through the 3rd he was irate about, those two penalties cost Oilers the game. Nah, Canucks cost the Coilers the game 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get he’s overpaid, but logging huge minutes, and doing fine now in a proper defensive structure, with a reasonable amount of minutes. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SilentSam Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 I saw Nurse pull this and other dirt bag moves at least 3 times last night.. Why aren’t the refs catching on to his lazy ass / dangerous play ? Perhaps the refs need to be slough footed to realize how dangerous, and unsportsmanlike it really is. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Inkidu Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 Just watched that Lafferty goal again. It grows in significance every time I watch it. To have a bottom six forward step in and do that? Did you see Petey's reaction? That goal is the definition of the identity they're trying to establish. 2 1 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even an average stupid fan like myself understands that a ten can’t win the cup without defence and goaltending And the Soilers aren't even close to being a ten. Maybe a four.

If I was the Tochett, I would wait for a game against the Oilers when we are on the Pp and throw Soucey up into the crease position to not only give nurse an ear full of disgust , but with the intention of really hurting him with a heavy check or the same treatments. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 11 hours ago, Barn Burner said: I get that Myers isn't going anywhere immediately. But he's the worst possible D to be out there on the first shift against the Oilers, at their home opener, after we humiliated them 8-1. You seriously don't think they're coming out firing on all cylinders? Myers is a chaos. Who in their right mind would even consider putting him out there on the opening faceoff? I was thinking the same thing. But, although we all criticize Myers (with good reason), he is still a better RD than Juulsen (who I like but is marginal at the NHL level). So Myers was going to play against either McDavid or Draisaitl. But putting him out first, given that Edmonton had the last change, he was likely to play against Draisaitl on the first shift leaving Hughes and Hronek against McDavid. I think that was the logic. But I agree that, given the importance of the first shift in a "revenge game" like this, there is a case for starting with Hughes and Hronek. Still, there was no way for Myers to "hide'. He was going to be under pressure, and he was. He played the first shift badly and had a few other mistakes but, overall, he held up pretty well. Right now I am a bit more worried about Juulsen at RD3. Juulsen is fine as an "extra D' but I don't think he can hold up as the regular RD3. Maybe if he plays with Soucy instead of Hirose the 3rd pairing would do better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the guy, per se, but as we witnessed last night on the first shift, the guy handles the puck like it's a friggin' hand grenade. He's not someone I feel comfortable having out there, and I was one who was "hoping" he'd actually settle his game down this year, because he's playing for his next contract. Go figure. He needs to make himself less noticeable. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is gettting that opportunity with Cole. He's not really "changing his game" though: 1 hour ago, aGENT said: He's a primarily offensive D, with size that's prone to the occasional gaffe. Precisely why he performs best when partnered with a solid defender like Cole (to help cover said gaffes and less robust defensive play). It's almost like that's the player he's always been and billed as... He's simply being partnered properly (and coached better) and put in to a better position to succeed by playing to his strengths and shoring up his weaknesses. Having actual puck support and systems in place doesn't hurt either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they called the penalty it took place a fraction of an instant before the goal so it could/would be a delayed call nullified by the goal. In a sense Nurse knew he had a free one and took it.
