I saw that and you’re right, but there are just as many instances of his lazy subpar play. He’s vastly overrated.
Overall, Nurse did have a great game; he played physical and made that key poke check to create the sequence that yielded the tying goal. Haven't liked his reads in OT lately. I'd prefer Walman get a chance in the rotation after Bouchard.
Nurse gets a beating, for trying to live up to that contract (mainly from himself). Phycologically hard to excell when your overpaid. Too many negative overtones to excell and keep your head up.
3 on 3 is largely chaos. Nurse made one mistake in the OT and of a nature he typically doesn't. In anycase all of Nurse, Booch, Ekholm have been studs on the team and in extra time. Walman with his skillset seems like somebody that could do well in OT but I don't yet trust him yet in that, and KK probably wants him to have more time with club before he gets that.
I like Podkolzin with Draisaitl cause he clears him space and is a workhorse and while he doesn’t put up points, Drai is killing it with him.
At least pods makes the occasional good pass and occasionally cycles the puck. I should mention how often ARvid doesn't do that and just takes shots from anywhere. I mean he's playing with Leon, the top goal scorer in the world, and he's taking the shots. An inordinate amount of them sometimes, and I'm sure Drai tells him to. I'm noticing some slight improvement in Arvid shooting. hitting the net more now and missing less. Still falling all over the ice though.
Pickard is a reliable AHL goalie. He does not frustrate as much as Skinner, who is up and down so much. Pichard does not have NHL skill at all. I like him thou, for the AHL.
I would be happy if he could continue at a 30+ goal pace going forward for the next few years.
Why is there a skater not covered going to the net as Jones just watches the puck?
He isn't on a 30 goal pace. you think he gets back to there? I don't. Hyman has much more involvement in games and he can't get to the same totals he put up. Age factoring in a bit as well as the challenges of playing on a team getting some tight checking. We'll see what happens. I think Skinners performance in playoffs will say a lot about future retention.
Could have just skipped the regular season and gone directly to Oilers vs. Kings 4.0Its kind of uncanny. But also such a product of where the whole division is at. For several years now basically its been a few teams even capable of making playoffs other than the Nucks Outlier year.
Looks like we have to see Will Feral again.
so f***ing stupid, we that we need other fans vouching for others now to "protect" them from toxic ass fans and the hive mind?
He has 27 goals in 67 games played. That's 33 goals over 82 games. Just needs three to get to 30, we will see if he can get there.
