Uhhh....no they'll be on the same team in the NHL so McDavid won't have anyone able to shut him down on opposing teams...

Ooooh we must have missed the part where Nurse is the best shutdown D in the NHL before playing in the NHL.

Bruce i'm not gonna lie here... I know they're kids and I really feel bad for that but I really hope whoever the leafs draft, they bring him up to early and end up ruining him until the fan base turns on him and he gets traded for spare parts only to come into his own and have a long prosperous career.


I mean I think that's probably everyone's expectation of what will happen but i really really want it to.

in that case i hope we draft another schenn

Shutdown by an OHL D, yup - things not looking good for Connor McBust now.

Glad we dodged that bullet.

Lol. Getting lit up? You clearly have not watched or listened. The announcers go on and on about how good Nurse has been. McDavid and the otters have been scoring a ton on the power play but that's the only thing keeping them alive in the series. They've been dominated in every other fashion.

WHO CARES???????????????????????????

We hope Patches gets run over by the Zamboni. Price gets the clap, and PK breaks his leg.

Would have no effect. Patches' stupid face and giant chin could destroy a russian tank.

this just in.. chiarelli trades entire oilers roster including all picks to boston in exchange for that unidentifiable item tim thomas left in his locker that nobody is willing to touch

well that's not very nice

They are rebuilding apparently. They won't be disfunctional or shouldn't be.
If he's ready to play in the nhl, you play him and let him grow with the team

If he's ready, effective, and the team won't deter his development. Sure, play him.

I'm looking forward to Mike in Buffalo's Oilers prospect blog...wait, no, this doesn't seem like the right forum for that.

fair enough!

Nope.

Dozzer wtf you're gonna let this go?!?!

is this how you treat your guests?

How will McDavid do in the NHL against top pairing, if he is being shut down in the OHL.. Wow,, he will get eaten alive. Webber shiits bigger things then him.

Your not a guest, this blog is open to all.

Yeah McDavid is dominant on pp and scored a shorty. But even strength in the series Nurse is +1. McDavid is -2.

Nurse has been extremly effective at shutting him down this series.
- Iggysbff

cause the soo is a stacked team... Guess we will disagree then, Nurse is not shutting down Mcdavid in fact he's having his best playoff series yet matched up against him..

Confirm or deny: same item that was in Marsellus Wallace's briefcase?!?

The equivalent would be giving Stee a loving home.

Didn't he have 4 assists the other night?

Not against Nurse, He is -2 .. I would be on the fence if I am the Oilers. He may slide to 4th.

Think of how poorly he'll fair in rookie camp if Nurse and him aren't on the same scrimmage team. BUST written all over him if he goes to EDM.

Not against Nurse.
- bixll

Yeah, but Nurse is two years older and a shoo-in for the hall of fame. They'll fast track him Mario style as soon as he retires.
