Nuge is an oilers legend

[@d.scarlett97]

Ryan, I was there for your first game and an Oiler and I will be there for your last. Let’s get that first ring

@@mithex8414 such wasted talent has gone to ur team I feel for nug, hall, n yakupov

[@dl4189]

Oilers went to conference finals. How’d your team do

[@seen48]

@@Mrcreamsalot yikes. Hall had one good year with 93 points and somehow won the Heart trophy with the Devils, check his other years away from Edmonton. Yakupov did nothing in the NHL so not sure how Edmonton ruined him? He was a bust from the word go. Please explain that one. Who’s your team?

[@dl4189]

@Ech Conference finals isnt bad. So yeah it is a success.

[@goodmanwiseman303]

The Nuge beating up Holl is one of the greatest moments the NHL has ever had.

[@xhead75]

I agree, and I'm a Leafs fan.

[@chad3830]

That was crazy !! Just never seen him fight before lol. He’s on a mission this year. And we all know what it is !!!!!

[@deeshmond]

Love Nuge. Of all the Oilers having success this year, I'm most happy for him. Longest standing Oiler who never once complained throughout all those dark years. Unselfish and does all the little things right. Beauty!

[@devon7803]

hope he retires as an oiler and a stanley cup champion

[@johanstinson]

​@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 poor little salty Shames fan

[@dl4189]

Nice might just be up there with Ryan Smyth as the most legendary Oilers. I know there were some good players in the 80s but the Nuge is HUGE.

[@cindyrussell1581]

Always been my favorite Oiler, Congrats on having a new addition to yr family.

[@seen48]

Love The Nuge! Need Kostin and Deharnais to start throwing them when people cross check 97 or 29 like some teams are doing to us!

[@gged]

this guy is a gem i cant wait till he hoists the cup

[@sojiroseta98]

Tbh he looks like he could have been drafted last year down to the stache 😂😅 thats not hate tho, Nuge has been a classy player all his career and deserves his flowers

[@JessicaWohler08]

ikr he still looks like he was just drafted

[@thecount1001]

DeBrusk looks like a heavyweight MMA fighter.

[@grizlyspectr5695]

Superstar points for Nuge lets go!

[@Hockeyreview101]

Ryan is the one guy to play a physical sport hit 30 and still look like he’s about to just enter his rookie season the baby faced assassin

[@dylangraham3535]

Nuge you are a class act!

[@blushingwillowtree6800]

Keep RNH forever 🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙

[@mainemceachern1521]

Huge is preternaturally calm and understated. Almost opiated lol. I can just imagine him as a baby, gazing serenely at the world, never crying or yelling. Gotta love the guy.

[@shaunajenseirs6364]

nuge you are amazing! we love u

[@TheKisj]

I hope nuge never gets traded, hopefully he'll retire as a lifetime oiler

[@freedomforall2924]

My only wish

[@Jxvany]

still remember when i was 9 and watched him score his first goal against the pens 😢

[@belledorris1973]

Class... a beautiful person. Nothing will ever be said negative about ryan nugent hopkins other then hockey so theres negativity but thats hockey.

[@CatarinaPereira-op9pd]

We love you!!! Hope you have the chance to raise the cup

[@kevinle5460]

Heeeey Scott maybe let Nuge finish is answers before cutting him off and saying something else

[@onlygreen2261]

The man, the legend……….the guy is just so humble, how can anyone not love this player………anyone else bothered by that last comment of oaks? The old cbc cronies just have to be gone already, two face Ron and Scott oaks can join Jim Matheson in a retirement home somewhere.

[@stoneysopranoyukon9398]

Nuuuuge !!! LET'S GO OILERS !!!

[@MrSexyNipple]

I love him so much

[@747400able]

Why does he have 2 last names?

He may still look like a boy but he’s a man now.
