I find it funny that people thought Nurse was having a bad year. He wasn't but the haters don't see it that way. He's been good all year.
That being said, I think he's been very good for the last few months especially since Ekholm came. He looks like a guy who's way calmer and just going out there playing his game and doing his job. I think before he was trying to do his job plus do everyone else's because he thought he had too. With Ekholm, he's got another real good dman who can go out there, play 20 mins a night and be good all the time so a weight looks to have been lifted from Nurse.
Nurse has scored 12 goals, 43 pts in 78 games. He gets next to no PP time. He has 1 pp point. If Nurse was on the Oilers top unit PP, I feel pretty confident in saying he'd be pushing 20 goals and 70 pts. Between Barrie and Bouchard, the PP dmen have scored 5 goals and 40 pts on the PP. If he was scoring 60-70 pts, no one would question him as a dman.

Nurse I think is best with a reliable D partner that can pass the puck well from our end. Nurse likes to move and it works great for him a lot of the time, but still needs a good guy backing him up when he's taken himself out of position. Ceci was great last year, big step back this year.
For sure with Ekholm here giving us top pair quality minutes and responsibilities spread out, it's helped tremendously. Still not that happy with Ceci's game, but the overall group is playing much better still.
Totally agree if Nurse got PP time, he could be a 70+ point guy now. He got money as if that was assumed already though, so he can't have hard feelings :)
