Have you listened to some of the callers into the postgame shows over the years? This fanbase is filled with bipolar lunatics at the best of times lol.
I’d also get flustered too if I had the same smooth brained reporters asking the same questions every other game.

There’s only so many ways you can say that McDavid is awesome

His swag is back which is great to see. Starting off strong offensively. 9 points in 17 games. Kulak has been great with him so far but imagine if we get an actual top 4 Dman to play with him!

Ekholm Bouchard
Nurse Top 4
Kulak Emberson

SOLID
That plus Kane returning and a lot of guys with a lot more to give offensively. This roster is capable of being dominant when playoffs hit. Would like someone else in net to push Skinner as well or take over for him if he continues to struggle.

Why don't they just stick with

Ekholm Bouchard
Kulak Nurse

?

How much better is Nurse going to ever play than 7 points in 8 games and a +7 rating.

Kulak is having a good year also.

It looks to me that Nurse plays better on his off side, which isn't that shocking given he's kind of a weird player.

Man if we get that type of performance out of Nurse regularly this year I am prepared to eat more crow than any human being on the planet, and I would do it with a smile.

They should honestly play Nurse more 3 on 3. He can skate like a horse in that situation, he's actually pretty good maybe better than Bouchard.

Ladies and gentlemen...Connor McDavid.

Bossy broke 1000 points in 85-86 and 86-87 was his last year. McDavid will soon be the 3rd fastest guy to hit milestone XXX behind only Gretzky and Lemieux. Frankly those two are the only players I have seen in my life time that I think could be reasonably ranked ahead of McDavid in terms of ability.

Is it just me or does Darnell finally look like a 9M defenceman?
It's just you. Nurse is obviously not worth what he's paid (shocker opinion, i know), but it's possible to get more good than bad from him in ideal situations. And maximizing his considerable skill-set is vitally important for this club.

It was a fun game and all hail Connor and all that, but i have lingering concerns:
- Only two forwards can score, despite all the effort made to shore up wingers
- PK is historically bad
- PP is lacking
- Henrique is a non-entity
- Team cannot hold a third-period lead
- Team hasn't yet beaten a good opponent

I agree that Nurse should get overtime duty more often. He's quite effective in that situation.
