He’s doing pretty bad
you nailed ot. the people who carved nurse when he played injured are the same people forgiving exholm for maybe being hurt
Nurse, Ekholm and Bouchard are NOT that great.
We can ALL have bad days at the OFFICE !…
He’s been garbage since start of last season. He needs to go. He’s not going to return to his previous level
Ekholm has had 2 bad games in a row, but he was playing great before that. Bouchard and Nurse have bad games all the time. Chill out. Ek will be fine.
Pair Bouchard and Kulak again. It worked well in the playoffs, and Kulak is younger.
The whole team is struggling. There has been talk about SCF hangover for the Cats, but I think that the Oil have suffered more from that than FLA.
Hey, against popular opinion, I criticized the signing of Ekholm. He's done, man. He has no knees left.
That being said, I'd happily have seen Carolina offer sheet Bouchard for four 1st round picks too.
Paul Coffey was huge for our defence, and now that he’s gone we can see just how vital he was. You can see it especially in Bouchard’s game.
no, its he's playing to his pay or slightly under, when someone you sign for 9, 10 million play like 3.5 mill, you get mad. elkholm is playing 1/2 mill under his pay, hence why ppl dont get so mad.
plus injuries can take a lot longer than a few months.
