We saw how a goalie change sparked the Oilers against the Canucks in the second round of the playoffs with Calvin Pickard taking over for Stuart Skinner for a couple games, so should Edmonton give any consideration to making a goalie change for Game 4? If you were the Oilers, what would you do with a struggling Darnell Nurse? TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his thoughts.

Trade him for marner, 1 for 1, lol
-12 in the playoffs for a dman is wild
Ahl to learn hockey for nurse. But skinner shouldn't be criticize anything
Sign him to a 9m aav deal. Wait a sec?!!
Is this guy serious? Play Nurse and Ceci with McDavid? Throwing Skinner completely under the bus to justify Nurse’s stat line. I never take analysts too seriously but this guy is clearly just spouting air.
Stu is still young. He has 138 games in the regular season
Park his butt.He is a liability taking useless penalties one after the other.
is Edmonton covering in defense zone without puck? would goaltender change bring team cover in defense zone?
Soley using plus/minus to judge Nurse is a bonehead thought
Why in the hell does nurse not take out his threat, not stop and stand out of the god dam way or go down like he seems to do……..such a useless D man! I felt coffee had him playing much better but in the playoffs he seems to be going back to his dazed and confused ways……..at least I don’t have guys crapping on me about him being injured like a couple years ago.
Calvin Pickard needs to start punching faces. So much disrespect. Easily the Oilers best goalie this year.
Nurse is no good
Not a fan of either team but I don't like Edmonton. They had all those first picks, cheating their way to get all those 1st overall picks like Mick David, Yakupov, Nugent, Hall, it's not right that one team had the first pick for 4 out of 6 years. Then they have their dirtbags like Kane and Perry so there's a lot to like about Dallas smoking them again at home in their own barn. Come on Dallas, not a fan, but I'm a fan this series.
Look nurse at 4.5 mil is ok but 9 is insane and your not moving his contract
Skinner in same situation in Vancouver series Vancouver was up 2 to 1 oilers won game 4 expect oil to be pedal to medal
Sit Nurse. Skinner is fine.
Skinner and Nurse are what the Oilers have… this is the team folks, play these guys. The Oilers need to play hard for the whole game, they haven’t done that to this point.
Increase his minutes starting tonight!
Nurse. $9mill Dman on all fours blocking goals with his taint.
That sums it up.
This guy cant be for real. That's the absolute worst take ever. They need to bench Nurse to make a statement. You can't play this bad consistently in the playoffs and still be on the team. He's been on for 18 goals agaisnt, the second closest defense men has been on for 12. And there's a myriad of stats showing why Nurse cant play with Ceci. Both of them need help and they're absolutely terrible together
Horrible answers. Nurse need to sit. Nurse is my panic button.
Heiskanen 8.5m Nurse 9.2m 🤣
See you all after game 4, where we'll hear the same excuses.
"Stuart Skinner is the guy who can win you games, that's why the Edmonton Oilers are down 2-1 in this series, because all Stu knows, is how to win. Skinner for Conn Smythe, baby!"
As for Nurse. I am wholly convinced. He doesn't belong in the NHL. Absolute albatross on that team.
NURSE has to go …… paying him 9 million a year and he 's not worth starting rookie pay, too bad it's too late to trade him as the whole league has now seen he sucks
“ He’s a real good goaltender “ ha ha ha ha
Nurse is a Curse get rid of him and maybe you win!!
Someone please get Biron an actual mic
Put Darnell in net since he likes to go down and play like a goalie and put Stu ball on defense, how about that idea?
Give Nurse more mins., so we can say adios oilers.
$9.25mill for another six years. Incredible. One of the NHL’s worst signings in recent years.
There all choksters 😂😂
Trade Nurse…
Trade him for a bag of pucks
Put him on the 4th line but let him take the first penalty shot
Nah Stars in 5.
Nurse is such a donkey. Worst contract in the league.
This mf is a homer
Skinner is a bigger problem.
Lose him!!!
Figure out a way to terminate his contract.
His dumb face reaction when he stuck his knee out for the trip was hilarious. What a clown.
They shoulda got rid of nurse when they had a chance. And maybe got a pylon to replace him and pay the pylon his current contract
THIS SLUG MAKES MORE THAN CROSBY & MAKAR !!!!!!!!! HOLLAND YOUIR COVID MASK IS TOO TIGHT !!!!!!!!!!
