2 games in a row now where Nurse own goals. What’s the point of this thread if no one is going to use it?
In LA, he tips a puck headed directly towards Skinners pad, past it.
In Anaheim on 2GA, Nurse takes a swipe at a floater incoming from the blue line. No f***in reason at all to take a swipe at that puck. Ticks it just perfectly passed above Pickards blocker.
No Nurse brain farts in either of these games and we probably win them. For those that don’t think these dumbass, totally preventable plays matter. They matter for the Ws/Ls column and they matter for goalie stats.
Watching Nurses body language he seems to get into this lacksaidaisacal mode when his game starts falling apart. When he’s on his game he’s on his toes, making quick and decisive decisions on the ice, his movements are strong and concise. When he sucks, his movements look loosy-goosy, playing non-chalantly, like he’s too cool for school, and taking the game for granted. That’s when the brain farts show up. The good news is, it’s probably just mind set thing, so he can fix this. But he better fix it fast, cause the last 2 games were amongst Nurses worse, not even counting the egregious own goals which always show up when he starts sucking again.
