Predict Nurse's own-goal total for 24-25

[The Panther]

AS long as its not self defecating humor. That gets awfully shitty and I'm setting myself up for the lol.

whoops

No thread-crapping, please.

 

[Cloned]

Best thread since @Cloned did Fire Woodcroft.

Also there is nothing wrong with self deprecating humor! When things go bad it’s alright to laugh at yourself. And we’ve had plenty of practice at that!

Great thread @Took a pill in Sbisa

I’m not taking credit for a thread you started sir.

The guy sucks. He's honestly a 7th dman scrub.
Vinny Desharnais would be better right now

It is astonishing they haven't found a way to get Nurse to wake up. Bouch too both have been miserable in the starts of the season.

I don’t think it’s a matter of Nurse waking up. Outside of the Covid shortened season where he only played against 6 other teams he has never been a great D or even a very good D. His athleticism is what’s got him by to this point but in an ever increasingly faster league with more skill than ever before, athleticism only takes you so far.

I remember when we played the bubble season and he played a ton of minutes in the playoffs due to us not really having anyone else and that helped him land that insane contract. Something something endurance = $$$

I’m betting on 11 and everyone will cry and moan

26+. Majority off his butt

He’s absolutely had some very good years outside the shortened season.

A couple pretty good years. I’m not sure he’s been in the very good category. Mind you that’s semantics I suppose.

There was a run of years where it seemed Nurse added something to his game every summer. Like when he spent a summer with Oates and suddenly was decent at stick checking. Around the time he got retirement money though it seems like the growth completely stalled.

I felt prior to the Canadian division he was gradually getting better every year. He was quite good that one year.

But after that year and the contract he has gotten continuously worse. And that is several years now. I am surprised that his regular season stats are as good as they are. He is borderline unplayable In the playoffs though.

He’s just a hot mess. He makes such bad reads/plays on the most basic of plays. I think that’s why he has so many goals go off of him. It’s too bad we don’t at least get the physical part of his game. The dcore could really use that. But dude is just a flower out there and has been for years.

Nope. He's a decent stretches. Complete seasons....not a chance

You also think hes a #7, so I doubt you're very objective when it comes to Nurse.

So Ekholm is tied with Nurse for own goals on the season after his beauty to the bottom corner last night.

The season is early. Last year apparently Nurse had more own goals than the rest of the D corps combined and it seems to happen every year.

LOL, apparently. According to who? Share an actual stat? Oh, the NHL doesn't track those.

 

[AM]

None.

Why don’t you start an Ekholm thread to track his own goals there. We’ll track the Nurse own goals here and then we’ll know for sure.

Shh, only shitting on Nurse is permitted here. Do that anymore and the cool kids will kick you out of their fun little group

It was on Stauffers podcast I believe. There is a site that does track it apparently.

Either way there’s no denying a shit ton of pucks go in off Dr925

There are a ton, the one this season wasnt really his fault though.

True.
