Was Darnell Nurse Right to Fight After the Hit on McDavid?

Darnell Nurse didn’t hesitate for a second when Connor McDavid got rocked – he dropped the gloves immediately. But was it the right move? 💥

After a big hit on McDavid, Nurse went after his man in a fiery fight that has Oilers fans and the rest of the NHL arguing about whether this was smart team protection or reckless emotion.

On this clip from Oilersnation Everyday, Liam Horrobin and Bordzy break down:
🥊 The hit on McDavid that set Nurse off
🔥 How fast Nurse reacted and why that matters in the room
⚖️ The risk/reward of your top D-man answering the bell
🧠 The “shoot first, ask questions later” mentality around protecting 97
💬 What Oilers fans are saying about the fight

Is this exactly what you want from Darnell Nurse… or does he need to pick his spots better when it comes to protecting McDavid?
