Nurse has be fine not great problem is sorely on the coaching staff want him to be something he not and takes away what makes nurse good Morrisey should be on Canada but the rumors of nurse being on Canada is just team Canada looking on what route they wanna go when it comes to the defense
@sacredalien80112 ай бұрын
Yeah if this is our team, this might be the worst team we’ve iced. No Morrissey or Theodore is crazy. Also Hyman Marchand and Reinhart in the top 6? Oh no. This is looking like that cup that happens during the playoffs that the players who didn’t make the playoffs play in, if they even feel like it. Edit: just checked. Hyman has 4 points in 13 games this year. Might as well put Reaves on the first line

There's no way I put Caufield in over Kane, he's way too easy to out muscle off the puck by elite players on the opposing team, and both Kane and Carlson have the experience of being in the trenches over the last decade or so.
