Imagine if the solution to Ceci was Kulak all along.

I agree with you and I have been as critical of Nurse as anyone on here.
In the last 7-8 games Nurse has been much better.

Its been and long time coming and its really good to see because the team needs this version of Nurse and not the brutal version of the past few years. He needs to be a player that brings some real value to his inflated contract.

Here's hoping that he doesnt revert back to the liability was was before this season.
If Nurse can somehow show that this is not a mirage and actually be worth most of his massive contract and Kulak can continue with his out of body experience and play like a 2nd pairing guy consistently, that would be fantastic. Then we can "hide' various combinations of the leftovers on the bottom pairing so they won't get best up so badly.

McDavid's achievment of 1000 points is monumental and incredible and he's going to get his points, but to me, the bigger thing overall is a turnaround in Nurse's game. That is a major thing that will improve our chances of getting a cup win.

By the way, Stamkos could have been at Goose Loonies the entire game, and I wouldn't have noticed the difference.
At the time, it was "how can they not keep an icon like that?". Now, in hindsight, a brilliant move, moving on from him at just the right time. Probably same for Vegas with Marchessault to a lesser degree. Vegas is cutthroat in how they do business but it works for them.

I couldnt agree more.
I am right there with you hoping for Nurse to prove that this isnt a mirage.
It just solves a major issue with the defence and allows the team to shelter the bottom pairing a little more.
