Where the hell was Nuge in the year end interviews? I want to know why he was so lousy in these playoffs. Was he hurt or just not show up?
Am I being super critical of Nuge? Absolutely I am. But he's the guy who's performance these playoffs bothered me the most. WHy?
- He's been an Oiler for 12 yrs now.
- For 12 yrs, he's been one of their key guys, he's supposedly one of their leaders. Guys like McD and Leon mention him by name as critical to the teams success.
- For 12 yrs, he was the guy who every year they would talk to Nuge after they were done and he would talk about his disappointment, how he wants to win, how he's tired of losing, how the team needs to improve, how he needs to improve.
- Supposedly after last years defeat to the AVs, it light a fire under Nuge, he rededicated himself and he had his best season ever by a mile.
- Nuge has a massive following among the fan base. In my opinion, many think he is almost touchable and can do no wrong. Many wanted him to retire as an Oiler so he got his retirement deal.
- In my opinion, after McD and Leon, he is the 3rd guy offensively and key to the Oilers secondary scoring behind the big 2.
- Unless you are an elite player, generally the playoffs favor vets due to their experience. He's 30, he should be in his prime playoff years where he still has enough game left in his body combined with experience to excel and be a difference maker in the playoffs.
I know what Nuge is. He's not a line driver, never really has been and never will be. He is a very good, complimentary player but the Oilers don't need him to drive a line. They have 2 of probably the very best line drivers in the NHL. All they needed Nuge to do was do what he did all year. Be that elite complimentary guy. Get your touches, set up Leon or McD and get into spots and bury it. Just like you did all year. I fully expected it to be McD, Leon and Nuge as 1, 2, 3 in scoring in the NHL as I expected the Oilers to go a long way. I never saw him taking 10 games to score his first goal. I never saw him being basically invisible for most of the playoffs. So I want to know why because I firmly believe that if Nuge wasn't as bad as he was, even with the goaltending, the Oilers would have won and be in the West Finals right now.
