I don't think nurse was struggling. I think he was overcompensating for his partners. walman and nurse have chemistry that's why it fixed it
I’ve liked Walman since his first game in an Oilers sweater. Stoked we’ve got him long term!
Fixed it? Nurse is a bad passer. He's a rim-first guy and always jamming wingers up. He wants to jump up in almost every play. I just wish he'd play pronger-esque. Bang bodies. Watch the front of the net. Those should be his orders.
I think Walman and Nurse should replace Bouchard and Ekholm to play with McD. Trade Bouchard for a more defensive physical defenceman. Bouchard gives up more breakaways than scoring goals. Walman set up McD just as well. Team defence must be higher priority.
