To bail him out because of not playing with the captain is just ridiculous no? He listed Dry that he plays with. He's still paid for a result and he isn't helping. Look at the games
9.2 mil is insane for him, that cap hit just shoots the oilers in the foot
The ass puck stopping defenseman
I think Martin Biron has a thing for Nurse. This guy has been playing D for Nurse better than Nurse plays D for the oilers.
He needs to be called out for his performance in the same way that Ken Holland needs to be called out for signing him at that 9.2M price. The fact, he's not that good Clearly Ken Holland isn't as a GM.
TRADE THAT BUM!!!! He is lazy, out of position, and puts in zero effort. He is a cancer in that locker room.
Clown over payed potatoe hymans a beast we loose tonite were finished time to earn ylur pay cheq
For Biron’s voice is insufferable. Not the accent. The pitch.
Start talking about the GMs. They have history. It is an interesting angle. Did Tanev decline the Oilers? Was Nill the real reason for the RWs success under Holland?
He can't play with McD! McD needs a strong D, NURSE is not a strong D
Your a bum, you cannot play. Please buy this guy out and move on.
I would only do interviews in American Sign Language or with an Interpreter.
NURSE IS A SHITE SHOW!!!! 3 million at the MAX!!!!!! he needs a babysitter. wish the oil would find a way to release this guy and get rid of him. get his sister playing!!!!!
Blame the mcbaby. He's the one who wants this dude on the team.
As useless as Puljujarvi was, he still didn't command 9million of that precious cap, and the goof mcbaby chased the guy from the team.
Yet, he doesn't chase Nurse away? o_O
Nurse must have a good throat game or something.
He's horrible and has always been
Enough talking. Time for the Oilers to show what they have left
This isn't a problem at all. The only issue is that fact the Oilers GM overpaid a player who clearly is not able to live up to that paycheck. He is a second pair Dman, not a first pair guy. He can certainly play better, but let's not pretend he is an all star who is struggling. It's the same issue Vancouver had with Myers. Everyone was mad at the player, because they expected him to live up to his paycheck. It's not the players fault they are overpaid.
Martin Biron has a thing for Nurse
Somebody offered him this kind of $, he just said yes.
Nurse isnt worth $9 a year.
Why are people people surprised he’s black
It's 9mill for the nurse dink.
Nurse, needs to be traded anyway. Take his price and trade Skinner for a better goalie in off season
Over 9 million for 6 more years 🤦♂️
Very interesting defence of Nurse…
When the leafs have nothing to present, the media need something to get them wet. TSN is easily the worst broadcasting network on the planet.
When Nurse was signed to the extension, he was seventh in norris voting that year. This was a summer where 4 defenceman were signed to 9 mil+ per season. The mistake Holland made was not the offer, as it was basically the market rate at the time.
The mistake was not waiting till the following season to see if Nurse could maintain that level of play as he was still under contract for the next season.
Marty's perspective
Or media hysteria (?)
— Calm over chaos👍!

Alberta is a racist place one of the most difficult places for a Blackman to live and work.i have seen this personally in my day to day work in the oilfield.when the team looses the first guy to get it is Darnell when other white players make mistakes they are treated with respect.its about our ppl 400 plus yrs of being hated and mistreated.we a strong ppl and this won't affect Darnell he will rise from it God has your back young fella keep your head up..keep putting in the time to art form…
I’m glad he proved y’all wrong
There is 6 players on the ice for one and two Nurse is up against the opposing teams best scorers. A lot of the goals were not his fault and the ones that were well they were deflections off his body. A little bad luck I think
After ruining the Detroit Red Wings, Kenny Holland landed in Edmonton and promptly signed Jack Soupy Campbell to five seasons and $25 M and Darnell Nurse to $9 M AAV!
