@ATurkeyPanini Sometimes it could be I suppose. I don’t know. He stood out right away for some reason. I just think he’s very poor at key aspects of what he needs to be a top d man. Everyone’s opinion is different and that’s the cool part. So many see it through different lenses. All good

@14madpanda Seems like a small sample

I'm going to take some heat for this, but seriously, have a deeper look at Nurse's real world impact, it's not nearly as tragic as his reputation would have you believe. This sheet is @50in39's work, so he gets full credit. Bars in blue are the only ones he's finished outside the top 64 (32 teams x 2 defensemen) in his career. I certainly was more surprised by this than I expected, maybe you will be too. This isn't to say that there isn't development Nurse should be doing, and that he couldn't make smarter plays or whatever, but these results do say something valuable.

@ATurkeyPanini He does it all the time

@14madpanda Sorry five of them were in Bakersfield not four

@ATurkeyPanini It was only 5. Every single one was a poor choice. But yes. I made 3 games at home and 2 on the road. You can’t tell me it’s not notable the way he plays defense that he’s lost a lot and has to reset himself to his nearest post.

@ATurkeyPanini I watched ever single one in person. How many games you need to see someone can’t read and react effectively in his defensive zone.

@14madpanda Nurse played 9 games for Bakersfield

@stoolpresidente What’s your take when he plays the Avs. Thinks he’s still got it against that team? Genuine question.

Tried to tell ya Whit. Marner Magic. I saw it coming a mile away.

@stoolpresidente Marner vs the ducks. Like they were going to shut him down. Calling out marner magic in this series is like telling someone hey presidente. Joshua magic. Jake Paul got knocked the fuck out. Told ya. Like it wasn’t inevitable. You’re better than that.

@EricJFriesen @moe99oilers It would be nice. Hopefully they can sort out some contracts so that might have a chance to happen. Tomkins still has another year on his deal.

@14madpanda @moe99oilers I would have them both in Bakersfield next season and let them compete for the starter's job

#Oilers prospect Samuel Jonsson (158th overall, 2022) made 33 saves in a 4-2 win for the Fort Wayne Komets last night! Jonsson now has a 5-0-0 record with a 1.00 goals against average, a .968 save percentage and two shutouts in five ECHL playoff games as a rookie this year! #LetsGoOilers

@spittinchiclets Yes. Adjustments need to be made, but for Katz to ignore what mgmt has done and not look their way and put them in the hot seat too would be a severe lapse in judgement and accountability.

This is the biggest offseason in the history of the Edmonton Oilers organization.

@spittinchiclets You can’t sit there and talk about coaching without talking about management too. Jackson and bowman. Jackson absolutely set them back big time and bowman is off to terrible start of his tenure.

@JoeA_NFL @spittinchiclets Stfu you twat. Most of the fans blame a lot on the goalies. Mix in a water chief cause your wasted.

@spittinchiclets Canadian hockey fans will do literally anything to avoid acknowledging the existence and importance of goaltending. The Oilers have shit goalies. Thats why their "team defense" seems bad.

@EricJFriesen @moe99oilers One of them needs a shot in Bakersfield next year. I don’t think they have a choice from what I’ve watched in bako. I was bent they couldn’t play ungar in playoffs.

@moe99oilers Ungar and Jonsson are both AHL ready. Let's hope one of them emerges as an NHL goalie in two or three years.

@pakeha1 @EricJFriesen Tompkins is Stuart skinner 2.0

@EricJFriesen The Oilers have a great prospect pool in Ungar and Jonsson... Neither need to be playing in the ECHL next season... but what about Tomkins?

@BleedOilBlue As long as he’s keeping Jackson and bowman around. He part of the fuckin problem too. He’s about to become the Jerry jones of the NHL if he doesn’t unfuck his head from his ass.

Oilers Daryl Katz is extremely unhappy with his team.

@heyHanrahan @TheLineBlender I don’t know what that’s about. But good lord is that a bad take

@14madpanda @TheLineBlender Is he actually comparing Regula and Brock Faber? Advanced stats can’t be open to public

Forgot -- #Oilers player stats reveals ⤵️ Player A: Brock Faber Context: 35.2% elites, 36.1% mid, 28.8% grit 19:56 ATOI Top Partners: Q. Hughes, J. Brodin Player B: Alec Regula Context: 29.0% elites, 36.1% mid, 34.9% grit 13:28 ATOI Top Partners: Darnell Nurse, Darnell Nurse

@KevinMcCurdy @50in39 You left out the 9.25m Aav. Which is extremely sub par for that money. Secondly. Playing smarter and the things he needs work at are not teachable. The man cant read and react at full speed. He loses himself and goes down or resets himself to his nearest post. Like a NPC.

@BizNasty2point0 @ryanwhitney6 He’s had 9 head coaches. Soon to be 10. Also bowman is the 7 or 8 GM nuge has had since he was drafted also. It’s an absolute fuck show in the oiler’s penthouse since Katz took ownership.

Is this real @ryanwhitney6? #letsgooilers

@GenePrincipe @EdmontonOilers Gene. Who’s doing the review for Bowman and Jackson? Buehler? Buehler? Anyone. No. Katz would never upset his nepotism penthouse.

From @EdmontonOilers GM Stan Bowman "This was a tough decision. When we performed our review we needed a different voice to where we wanted to get too."
