Yup. Watching it again Nurse's injury is magnified by the hit on the ice, given his chinstrap so loose mean his helmet isn't protecting his head fully when he does land.
But yes, the focus for the Oilers organization won't be on the players health, it will be on the cap implications.
Rinse and repeat for Oilers fans.
First every season it's blame the goalie.
Then it's blame the coach until he's gone.
Then it's the leagues fault for not enough powerplays.
Then it's back to the goalie or scapegoating a second or third line irrelevant forward.
