Well with all due respect Larsson is a tad bit better than Nurse.
It was stupid. There was no reason to do it.
What does him being better then Nurse have to do with your statement?

Horrible start. Great second, right up until the softie, and a third that wasn't all that bad, except we made a pair of dumb mistakes at the worst possible times and the Ducks capitalized.
Keep that second period energy in mind and use it in Game 4. I had a bad feeling about tonight.
Still winning the series and stole home ice away. Not Talbot's finest and defensive zone coverage was pretty putrid by both sides. Ducks just buried their freebies.
Zero reason to panic. We're still in the drivers seat.
He slapped it up the boards. Why the eff would you take a goddamn slapshot from behind your net?
It was a stupid play and he knows it.

Because Larsson isn't a dumb dumb. He's a better passer, thinker, and all around just better than Nurse.
There wasn't a single reason for Nurse to try that play.
My gut feeling was telling me the same also. The whole day for games 1 & 2, my mental mood was the Oilers are going to win tonight. Yesterday, I just started having that sinking feeling they would likely lose this one.
Oh well. Just like the 7-0 loss, park it and forget it. They still have the lead in the series and just like after the San Jose game, they're on home ice right after.
I expect a much different result Wednesday night.

Yeah, there wasn't. But you are bashing the play, saying nobody does it(tons of teams do it)
Now you're saying it was just Nurse being a dumb dumb.
What is it then? A bad play or a player making the play at a bad time? Huge difference.
Forget about this game. It is one game , we focus now on winning and playing better in game 4. Nobody said it was going to be easy and the Ducks are a good team. Being up 2 games to 1 is a position any oiler fan would love to be in now. Oilers now need to show character again and come back strong next game and Talbot will bounce back. This is what makes series fun, there are ebs and flows from game to game.Just cannot get that Talbot **** up out of my head.
Oilers have insane momentum and a goal from MVP and he just pulls a Dubynk.
I absolutely love Talbot but that triggered me hard.
not only that but we likely weren't winning this thing 4-0, and the Ducks weren't all that great in this game tbh
45 years of watching hockey.
Screaming like an idiot to the TV since 1979 when the Oil joined. I have to honestly admit this now -
I GUESS I HAVE NO F ING IDEA AFTER ALL THIS TIME WHAT OFFSIDE IS.
It was a stupid play by a not-that-great defenseman. Maybe it's just me but I didn't see a single reason to try it. Not now, not ever. You're risking a turn over. Just pass it to a forward in flight.
It's a play that's made when there is no option for a forward in flight. Winger tips the puck at the red line to the center of the ice or into the zone so the forwards can attack with speed. The Ducks players are going to be ahead of the Oilers forwards which allows them to gain the zone with speed.
It's a good play used at a bad time. That's it.
Doesn't matter what Nurse did wrong, how they started the first. It was 3-3. They came back to tie it. That 4th goal sucked the energy right out of the building.
Nope they weren't. They were better in game 2. Just one of those games where everything they tried offensively worked.
Gibsons series of 4-5 grade A saves when it was 4-3 was the difference.
Can't sugar coat this...Talbot blew the 4th goal and knocked the wind out the sails...killed the run.
