BOWMAN will package NURSE and one of those goalies …. GONE; brutal; dept is also problematic; NO chemistry; sad… Oilers out in 1st round – maybe not even make wild card -; then sh** will hit fan this summer and get rid of most players and start new and it would not matter because DRLT and MCD will be gone in less 2 years.. Management has FAILED tremendously….. atrocious . very bad; NURSE is a stupid player; dumb as hell. He is playing in wrong sport; He should never been in hockey , not NHL – go try basketball or baseball –
get rid of nurse should nt have gotten rid of broberg
I have requested for the last year that you address your volume issues. Do you ever listen to your podcasts? Do you ever read the comments or interact with your followers? Ironic, that on a post where you criticize the Oiler management, you can't manage a simple detail on your own product as simple as volume output.
When your best player is Bouchard, that’s a red flag. Everyone turned pucks over, including him, and that tunnel vision doesn’t kill offense, it kills your defense and leads to big giveaways.
And ripping Nurse is pointless. His contract isn’t movable. He’s an asset you can’t get rid of, so the only real option is to figure out how to use him properly and get him playing the way the team needs.
If it was me and i was a head coach i would strip the A off of him then i would tell Nurse and his Agent that i would be benching him the rest of the season until he revokes his NMC and then i can trade him or he will be benched the rest of the season till next season when his NMC is done and then i will trade him. Hes so useless that his hockey IQ keeps going down and at this point just acts like he's in a coma. See they messed up 9.25 million they were supposed to put 9.25 dollars
Give Nurse his own room in the basement to sit in during games. (and practices, too)
Henrique isn’t an NHL player
$9.25 could be used for a better goalie and you still have a little left to get a defender or a bottom 6 forward. Sturm or Voronkov (6ft 5 234lbs)
You should be able to Vito no trade clauses
FIRE BOWMAN!!!!!!!!!!!! Then give Nurse away.
That’s the problem
Nurse is impervious to his horrendous play
Oilers are burned out. Two long seasons, now a third without a cup! They’re NOT MOTIVATED! They’re waiting for playoffs. They have doubts about the goaltending. They play too soft. That’s a leadership problem.
People need to stop blaming Nurse for all of our problems…….our coach has done NOTHING that speak to a system of play. Hail Mary passes and no coverage is not a good look.
