What should Oilers do with a struggling Darnell Nurse?



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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Calvin Pickard needs to start punching faces. So much disrespect. Easily the Oilers best goalie this year.

  4. 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.

  5. Skinner in same situation in Vancouver series Vancouver was up 2 to 1 oilers won game 4 expect oil to be pedal to medal

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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?

  11. $9.25mill for another six years. Incredible. One of the NHL’s worst signings in recent years.

  12. His dumb face reaction when he stuck his knee out for the trip was hilarious. What a clown.

  13. 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

  14. THIS SLUG MAKES MORE THAN CROSBY & MAKAR !!!!!!!!! HOLLAND YOUIR COVID MASK IS TOO TIGHT !!!!!!!!!!
