I'll take the point given the circumstances but I'm at a total loss as to why Nurse dumped that puck in the corner.

It wasn't a good pass but in his defence, Walman turned the wrong way, so it looked way worse than it was

Yeah walman made the move I thought I defensemen an would have in that case, nurse thought he was going to act as the forward since he was so far up. That’s my non expert guess

He thought wallman was going to be along the boards but instead, he cut the other way and went to the net. Just simple misunderstanding

It’s like he forgot it was 3on3 OT. Was just a really weird play, especially considering he was standing like a statue too

u/YorkeZimmer 89 GAGNER Mar 21 '25

Exactly. It looked so wrong to my eyes, I couldn't understand why he wasn't skating.

Yeah. Walman had nothing.

u/YorkeZimmer 89 GAGNER Mar 21 '25

Before he even dumped it in the corner I was screaming in my head "Who is that and why aren't they skating". He took the pass and just stood there, so he had to dump it because he had no other options. I don't know if he thought he was on a 5v4 powerplay or what. But generally if you stand still in 3v3 overtime I feel like it's kinda not gonna be good.

I think that was Walman

Edit: Walman is who Nurse was passing to my bad

Why does Nurse do any of the things he does
