Most of the time people are doing the reverse though. They jump all over Nurse getting a minus even if he had nothing to do with the bad play.Being on the ice when other players do good things is not playing fine. I can think of atleast 5 mindblowing bad giveaways he made in those games that Fla almost scored.
Not sure how anyone can say he playing"fine" when we witnessed that play at the end of last game. Just standing there and waiting a cool 3 seconds to allow the forecheck to come then get stripped instantly.... Paying a guy 9mil for that is just insane. The play was that bad. It wasn't unlucky or a bad read. It was a play he created
Also all Dmen makes mistakes. Ekholm made some doozies last game too, and Bouchard has had weak plays that cost us games.
I'm not saying Nurse has played as good as those guys. I'm saying you can't point to one play and say that's everything, or that top dmen don't make those bad plays. Nurse has been good lately. He has had key blocks late in these wins and he even salted the Panthers last game by taking the puck out of the crease and scoring an empty netter. He's had a rough playoffs but during this win streak he's played his best hockey by far imo
