HamBlaster wrote on Thu, 04 May 2023 09:26 | Totally agreed about Nuge. He's been pretty well invisible this playoffs, which is a good thing if you're talking about D, but a pretty big indictment for a 100 point player if you're doing nothing on the offensive side of the puck.
Just watched the highlights again...
I love Desharnais. I really think he was such a feel good story heading into the end of the year... but... that first goal was horrendous. I have no idea what he was thinking there, but whatever it was amounted to a terrible hockey IQ. That was almost as bad as McLeod's giveaway to Marner earlier this year. It's the playoffs dude... play smarter than that. Even the second goal looked like he was handling it like a grenade. Be assertive and do something with the puck, or take a body. Don't just stand there and look like a very large pylon. You need to make some sort of contribution.
Just too much intensity and responsibility for a guy that is still feeling his way into the NHL, unfortunately.
He was far from the only culprit though. Nurse completely bailing on his mark on one of the goals (and chasing himself completely out of position, which is his notable issue) was pretty bad, and Bouchard getting caught totally puck watching and leaving his mark on the fifth goal (iirc) that Stephenson picked up was also pretty egregious. If the Oilers are going to play this loose, they better have some outstanding goaltending that is going to steal them a game or two, and I don't think Skinner is playing that kind of game right now. He's just hanging in there, more than anything else.
Boys need to shape up big time for Game 2.

Hate to say it, but Campbell probably wins that game lol. But we shouldn't be playing in a way that depends on our top chaos agent that needs to spot the other team 3-4 goals before he starts getting the hockey gods blessing to make "key saves" to win.
