Does Brock Nelson suck?

[57special]

He is looking like Skeletor after He-Man struck him down in Masters of the Universe.

"Skeletor, it's over":

Confused about this. Are you saying that Brock will re-emerge, just like Skeletor?

 

[Jayevs]

no hes an elite defensive selke calibre 30/30 Center. You should definitely trade premium assets to Colorado to have the privilege of this 6’4 monster.

 

[Rehabguy]

Always look on the bright side. You could have acquired that other Islander : #53 on Montreal. 43 playoff games zero goals, 1 assist this post season and a -5 plus/minus, brainfarts or giveaways included, and a 9.5 million dollars a year contract- purportedly all in his prime. If there was ever a definition of “suck” there it is.

Give the guy a break he's lived through the great depression

 

[nogatco rd]

By far the worst player in relation to cap hit and expectations two playoffs in a row.

Laine makes more. Was terrible last year and this year they won’t even give him a jersey.

 

[PuckFegula]

No confidence+bad luck=bad time.

I’m no Nelson fan, but he ain’t this bad. Clearly tried and was impactful in game 4, just gripping the stick too tight. I remember we all blasted Marner, and now look at him- Brock was never at that level and is on the downswing of his career, though, so this legacy might stick. Shame. 2C been a problem for ‘em.

 

[nogatco rd]

Pretty much every player sucks and is either a bust or old if their team isn't winning the playoffs. Every coach sucks except the coach that wins the cup too.

Same things were said about Vegas when they were struggling vs Utah.

In 20 playoff games for Colorado he has ZERO goals on an actual goalie and a whopping 5 assists.

How’d the Americans win the gold? Matthews is a horrible captain. Nelson sucks. Amazing!

Give him a break, his grandson died on the Oregon Trail.

 

[PaulD]

Three points in 12 games, -1, 18 minutes of ice time per game. Hasn't registered a point since May 11 against Minnesota.

Signed at $7.75 million until 27-28.

With Mack likely injured and maybe out, Nelson's contributions are needed more than ever.

Play offs - I've never thought he was the type of player you count on or win with.
Not the brightest either.
Regular season - he's alright.

 

[PaulD]

3 on 3

Sid went out.

Cooper panicked and stacked top 3 centers on one line.

Comparison -

What is even worse too is that when you look at Makar you stop wondering why this kid who looks 5 year old got swept

 

[bardown on ur 5hole]

only on hf. 30+goals, 60+ points, selke nomination. does he suck?

 

[heretik27]

The goalie bailed them out in regulation but in OT it was the Americans who played better as a TEAM compared to the McMacMak line

They played 1min 40 seconds of 3on3 OT. That's like 2, maybe 3 quick shifts. Hellebuyck stood on his head the entire game, including the poke check on McDavid that led to the turnover on the game winning goal. I have no clue what point it is that you're trying to make here. It sounds ridiculous.

 

[BlackAdam]

On his best day, he's a player in the world.

only on hf. 30+goals, 60+ points, selke nomination. does he suck?

Lotta good that did the Avs in the playoffs?

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

Google "American Civil War Soldier" and you're bound to find a near identical look alike for Nelson on the first page.

Woody from Toy Story.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

Wasn't he also nominated for the Selke? Did I imagine this?

Players born before the trophy was invented are not eligible

 

[bardown on ur 5hole]

Lotta good that did the Avs in the playoffs?

not going to write off a player that had one bad playoffs. for all i know he was injured. he's still a 2c in this league.

 

[landy]

Lotta good that did the Avs in the playoffs?

Do we expect more offense? Yes. Was he great defensively? Also, yes.

 

[sr edler]

People acting as if this player is somehow the reason for Colorado not winning the Cup this year, is so dumb.

Had to try for myself.
