The most Oilers thing ever. The reffing is just out of this world.

God I hope the refs get fired for that. Couldn't have been more obvious. Changes the outcome of the game.

Someone has to take Nurse aside and get him to pick his spots on shots. His shooting bias must be at 90%. It's not like they're Al MacInnis blasts either. Wrist shot, unscreened, from the point with no one in front while we have firm possession and good players on the ice. It's getting to be a real pet peeve of mine.


You're right he routinely gives away possession for no reason.

Ref should be fired for that. Absolutely ridiculous. 2 refs didn’t see that?

Good game other than the officiating, but that non call on Hyman is bush league.

Couple it with his shying away from playing a physical game and welcome to my views on nurse


I will give him a pass on not taking extra shots. He's getting overplayed. 4th in the league in TOI/game. I remember Chris Pronger talking about how he couldn't waste any energy when he was playing in the high 20s and above. Said that you had to really pick spots for hits and battles because you just can't run around when you're playing that much.

I think you're probably right that Nurse isn't as physical right now, but I blame that on the lack of good defencemen and over-reliance on him.

It's actually similar to Bouchard. At this stage in his career, ideally he's maybe playing 2nd or 3rd pairing minutes with some PP time, but because the defence is weak, he's overplayed too.

If I had to teach someone what hooking was, I would have used that as an example.

East top 8 is pretty much final already. What's the point needing to ignore so many Washington obvious infractions?

Eat it, ref’s (and probably Russia). We got McDavid.
