Not watching the game, but I just saw the NJ goal on nhl.com.
Forgive my ignorance but wth is Nurse doing on that play? It's not an outnumbered rush, it was a 2 on 2, but both attacking players were on one side. Nurse basically stuck with the guy in the centre - okay, eliminate the pass, I guess - but he backed up so far without getting close to the shooter, below the faceoff circles, that the shooter had basically a free look.
Am I nuts - this is a complete f***-up, no? Doesn't he need to communicate with his partner, go to the shooter, and leave it to Ceci to move over and take his man? Or at the very least not collapse that much?
