Being a sports writer and trolling for clicks must be the easiest gig.

What? 1. There's 1 team where he ranks as a top pairing defender.

Is THW legitimate or just a collection of basement bloggers? Regardless of what team is being written about all the articles read like long winded forum posts from a team fan site.

Is that a fake jfresh card? Like did an Oiler fan doctor that to try to make themselves feel better? LOL.

Here is the Darnell Nurse card right from jfresh twitter.

Those cards are from different seasons; the JFresh card is from last June.

IIRC there has been a new Darnell Nurse card from Jfresh that posits better stats than the one in that 2021 tweet.

Oh, so he's up from his 3% even strength defense rating? What an achievement!

Like you could literally put a rock in the Oilers end and it would be a better defensemen then Nurse.

Is there a fan base or a media base that pumps their own tires more that the Oilers.... holy moly. Bragging how they are a lock for the Pacific title or how deep they are in winger prospects and how Nurse is one of the top defenseman. Is there anyone up there that has a damn clue about the game?

I think this writer makes a good case for leaving McDumbass off the roster altogether. If there is such a lingering concern about chemistry, then why risk the overall downgrade of an entire line by adding two players who need to be dragged around by their superstar centre who can't play with anyone else? It seems to me under these conditions that a much better choice would be to leave McHobo at home in favour of three elite-level forwards who can play with anyone.

That card is only tracking 34 games from 21-22. Is it only covering the period under the new coach?

Maybe you should try understanding how the data is captured before making that kind of assumption. I'm not gonna hold your hand here.

When only some games are used, there is room for subjectivity, along with the other concerns I listed.

Feel free to argue to the contrary.

If you want to stay blissfully ignorant, that's not my problem. The methodology is a google search away.

Either address the point or don't. But trying to attack me accomplishes nothing except making you look bad.

Given the events of the past week, we can agree that all McDavids are No Good, correct?
