  1. once the NHL gets sued for CTE they will put a stop to this garbage. that professional would do it to fellow professionals really is a sad comment on their profession.

  2. It wasn't a penalty nurse had his head down Reeves just skated into him he did not lower his shoulder or leave the ice till after the hit.. it was nurse that needs to learn hockey number one rule keep your head up

  3. A little harder and he probably would have broke his neck. I wonder if he hit him as hard as he wanted. Reeves was on after hours with Scott Oake once if i remember right and he has very little humility if any. Fkn goon.

  4. So the NHL now makes it possible for hockey players to keep their heads down while carrying the puck, and if they get body checked that’s a no no. The head was hit “because he was carrying the puck with his head DOWN”. If his head was Up carrying the puck Nurse sees Reaves coming and avoids the hit. From the youngest age hockey players are told to “keep your head Up”. Evidently Nurse missed that lesson.

  5. What the hell is wrong with the Oilers. Nurse gets dropped with a cheap shot and none of his team mates do a damn thing. It took them 15-20 seconds just to skate over to see if he was alright and not one Oiler pushed back on Reaves at all. That's bloody disgraceful. McDavid should have led the charge…..hard to imagine Bobby Clark reacting that way.

  6. I mean keep your head up? Behind the net is the worst place to have your head down, that’s the first thing your taught as d-man😂 nurse did that to himself

  7. Shoulder down, elbow down. Nurse was puck watching like a minor. This "was" a clean hit any day till the other player decides to look at their feet. Then it becomes an injury. Who TF in pro hockey watches the puck like this. Lesson learned.
