Nurse has no brain. A ton of athletic ability. But not a lick of hockey sense.

Just once I'd like to see him bear down and take it to the net after a zone entry with some room instead of the inevitable lackadaisical writer than usually misses the net.
Buddy, you're on a big contract now, expectations are high.

Up a goal, on the PP with under 30 seconds to go? Doesn’t get a lot more airtight than that. Or I thought anyway.
Tough point to give away.

LOLOLOLOLOL...
This is so #Oilers... didn't watch the game, however read the summary on TSN. Saw that the Blues scored a shorty with 20 seconds left to take it to OT.
What in the actual.......?
This team WILL NOT CONTEND if they continue to be braindead as hell like this. Great work guys... managed to take a clear win and turn it into an abysmal loss.

He seems worse this year. All our D do. Is it crazy to question what Coffey is doing to our D to earn the $1M salary or whatever he managed to scam Katz for?

I'm starting to sour on the Nurse & Ceci pairing....not so much as the two of them as players...but more from a coaching perspective.
I've always found #25 to function more effectively as a shutdown guy when he he isn't having to carry the load as THE two way dman on a pairing...maybe pair him with Bouchard/Barrie and have Ceci being the responsible shutdown mentor with Broberg on his left?
Just simple adjustments like that por favor...

At this point, it couldn't hurt to try. Also maybe a few less minutes per game. Maybe

That was a turd of a collapse in the 3rd. Not terribly played by most of the Oilers, we've seen tough plays by D that have affected the game negatively before, but you just can't have this game from Darnell Nurse. That first GA sure, he's human, but you cannot have your head in your arse late in the game for the GTG.
The big line has to be much better in their own zone. They weren't very good tonight.
You just have to beat a team that made the mistakes St. Louis did, and you can't make the errors that got this to OT.

Nurse has played like a $9 defenseman all season. We got some tough years ahead of us because of that horrific contract.

It bothers me a lot that on the biggest stage Makar is on side, but McDavid in game 31 of the regular season is offside.
In the past I would’ve agreed with the call tonight, but last years playoffs changed the landscape.

McDavid just earned himself another couple seasons of infractions not called against him with his post game interview.
It needed to be said.

...and I forgot to mention Nursey. An assist on the first BLUES goal.
...and I didn't see what he did to conribute to the tieing goal as I thought the game was in the bag and I was on the way home. 
...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

Ha... is it too much to expect your team to hold on to a lead with 90 seconds to go AND a man advantage? sorry...
As for leaving early... I'm in the upper bowl where it is madness to get out at the best of times. The concourse width up there is crushingly proportioned, despite it being a new building. It is not fan friendly at all, despite what you may hear from the media. There are only two real ways to get out from up there...
Some people like to be crushed I guess. Not me.

You are correct assuming we should close tgat our, but what about games where we make a comeback. I’ve seen some amazing moments with not much left on the clock.
I wait 5 minutes in my seats after a game and then 15-20 on the concourse. It’s a late night anyways. Screw it. 20 minutes earlier won’t make me more refreshed in the morning especially when I know I’m going to be battling jerk off drivers right after the game.
To each their own. I’m old and Ferris got it right, “Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Either way, I hope you had fun. Going to a game is always an experience. On to the Ducks. The Pacific leaders are coming back to the pack. Should be an interesting 2023.

He shouldn't have say this crap if #25 could even play solid bantam level hockey.

That was solid Bantam hockey against an NHL team. You might want to revisit your standards.

Agree.. Nurse's dopey play cost McDavid an upcoming fine from NHL Corp.. wouldn't be surprised if the NHL throws the book at him.. you know, just to prove "they don't play favourites".. 
Absolute joke of a league.

PVR'd it.. didn't watch .. saw the highlights.. up by a goal.. 20 sec left.. on the POWER PLAY ..
The stage is now set..
Like it was part of a script (likely a comedy) Nurse coughs it up on cue.. unforced.. THEN he stands around like he's waiting for a bus.. he puck watches.. while the best sniper on St. Louis is waiting WIDE open in front of the net behind him.. never bothers to look around him for an open man.. then flops to the ice after the fact.. no smarts.. no awareness... at least he has consistency.. same mistakes keep happening game in game out.. year after year.. coach after coach..
Is this guy un-coachable?

We need to do a reverse Brent Burns, convert a Dman to a forward. He's got all the athletic attributes to make a good winger. And none of the hockey sense to be a Dman.
His speed and power have carried him far, but now that he's up against guys that are almost as quick, and can think quicker... he's getting exposed. He 100% needs to simplify his game and stick to hockey 101 bantam plays.
At the very least Woodcroft needs to press box him so he wakes up and starts paying attention to his role, rather than trying to jump the gun and make an idiotic hail mary when we don't need one.

I replayed the goals on the PVR afterwards.. the 1st goal against was mostly Nurse as well.. too slow skating back to the puck.. like he thinks he's in control and has lots of time (a bad habit).. decides to let the St. Louis winger come to him like he intends to freeze the puck .. or something (didn't look like Nurse even knew what he wanted to do) .. but instead the winger just takes the puck away from him without much effort.. and its out to Kyrue for a top corner snipe..
Decision making.
He's got the physical tools of an NHL defencemen, but decision making is not.

McDavid's comments..
https://twitter.com/zjlaing/status/1603617245795856384
".. not understanding some of the rules of our own game.. its kind of funny .. I guess.."
Basically.. how the F are we as players in a professional sports league .. expected to play to a set of league rules.. when the people enforcing the rules don't even understand the F'n rules themselves..

Live by Nurse die by Nurse. He will never get it together. He can be an exceptional player at the best of times but he will never stop with the insane errors and mental mistakes on the ice. He’s a player that can’t seem to make quick decisions. It’s frustrating and cost us the game. It is what it is
Also, not that this game is Skinners fault at all, but he needs to work on his glove side. Pretty sure he was beat all game through his glove hand

I wasn't able to watch any of the game, just listened to the last part of the 3rd. Pretty disappointing. It doesn't fix the obvious extremely costly mistake by Nurse but I appreciate he owned it and I appreciate that the coach called attention to it.
The OT goal called back. I don't know what to say anymore about this league. It's just sooooo inconsistent. I just think back to the Makar goal in the playoffs where there was literally a Avs player 3 or 4 FEET inside the blueline before the puck came in, they called that a good goal part of the argument being "it's Markar, he's awesome, look at the play he made". Then last night they say of all people McD put himself offside because he didn't have complete control of the puck. He made move instantly after with the puck but for a billionth of a second he lost control I guess. Sure, whatever you say. It shouldn't have went to OT anyway but still pretty frustrating.

I guess in both of those cases they are interpreting "possession" the same way. That it only counts if you are touching the puck. So I guess they better properly define possession as something that only exists in the microseconds the puck is touching your stick and just run with that.

It's one thing if the fan watching in the stadium or at home don't fully understand how the rules work but it's another if the players, especially players like McD, throw up their hands and say they don't know what the rule is anymore. Of all the people who know the rules and the game in and out, it will be the players. So if these guys don't know what is what anymore, that's a big freaking problem and they need to do something about it.

Players tend to have something of an ingrained bias when interpreting rules, assuming they know them. McDavid might think he has possession of a puck, but thinking that doesn't count for a whole lot when people are reviewing the tape. Now, I think McDavid had possession of the puck, but only because I assume whatever McDavid does on a hockey rink is intentional. Sadly, that also doesn't count for a whole lot when people are reviewing the tape. If that play was done by any other player it would have looked an awful lot like a chip and chase.

Well then they need to write the rules so they take away as much interpretation as possible. How can they call off McD's goal but call what Skookum posted that is on twitter a good goal? The guy literally dropped the puck back over the blueline for his own guy. The standard that the league supposedly has that can almost change shift to shift makes it pretty obvious they are just making it up as they go.
What bothers me even more is the league called in for it! The Blues didn't see it as a problem and thought it was onside which I assume they have a guy just like the Oilers who's job it is during the game to watch video and look for challenges. So the Blues thought it was good and followed the rules but the league steps in and say, nope, you guys are wrong.

So the Blues thought it was good and followed the rules but the league steps in and say, nope, you guys are wrong.

This is actually the worst part.. refs called it right.. Blues thought it was on-side.. fans thought it was on-side.. some clowns sitting in a booth in Toronto thought they'd get creative.. just to show off?

I believe Toronto automatically reviews all OT goals.

I know it might do it for goalie interference, contact with a high stick, did it cross the line.. etc.. but have you ever seen the "control center" do it for off side?

I understand that but the league is literally deciding that a couple of guys watching a tv screen 1000's of KM away are a better judges at if he has control of the puck vs guys you are literally there feet away. You are basing it on if the camera catches the puck or stick at the right angle at the right time.
This all started with that Duchense goal where he was feet offside and a goal was allowed to happen. So they want to "get the call right". Well it has morphed into zooming a camera in and watching it frame by frame to see that a for a split half second McD doesn't have control of the puck or a guys skate is 1/8 of an inch offside. It's pretty rare you see a linesman miss an offside by feet. This is supposed to be entertaining and goals are entertaining. So if you have to get zoomed in and slow the game down to frame by frame then maybe they play is close enough that you let it go. I get that the Oilers have been benefitted from super close offsides but it's gone too far.
If the point is to get the calls 100% right, then why not put sensors in the bluelines and the pucks and sticks and whatelse is needed to take away the human element. Then you know the play is perfectly legal. There is no interpretation which is what fans like myself hate. It wouldn't shock me if that same paly happened next game and the call was different which shouldn't happen but sadly it does frequently.
