Nordstrom is a very "interesting" hockey player.
He's very very good when he's stuck in his own zone. He's aggressive on the puck carrier, blocks shots, blocks passes and does whatever it takes.
But sadly he's terrible at everything else.
If you pass it to him he'll have it go off his stick. If he's on the forecheck he takes the wrong route and arrives too late.
He literally should never have the puck.
But I get it ... not a bad specialist on the bench. Great at killing penalties, and great at shutting down the game in the last minute with the opposition goalie out.
