Back to Nurse/Vinny. Did work for a while. Vinny was overwhelmed by Dallas forwards though. Florida won't be much easier.
Ceci goes from promotion to out of top 6. At least Knob isn't stubborn. McLellan probably would have locked in Nurse/Ceci indefinitely after media called his pairs out :)

I was hoping for Ceci to sit, but when I saw those stats Skookum Jim posted last night, I went to rewatch most of the goals Nurse was on for - and yeah, he has been pretty bad. I'm thinking probably worse than Ceci. Both by the eye test and by all the stats I can find. I don't put too much stock in +/- as an isolated stat, but his -15 is 7 worse than the next worst on the team, and just a single minus away from the all time green jacket for a playoff season (Paul Reinhart with -16 in 83).
No two ways about it - he needs to be better. Hope that starts tonight.

Some of his WOWY's show Nurse a lot better when not playing with Ceci.
Honestly, I'd prefer him with Kulak or even Broberg though to Desharnais. I think he needs a guy who can still skate well and move the puck playing with him and Desharnais' weaknesses are pretty similar to Ceci's. We'll see how it goes tonight.
