Hey there! Wow, the tension between Darnell Nurse and Ryan Reaves is heating up, isn't it? I mean, Reaves is known for playing with an edge, but his comments after the hit on Nurse are just asking for trouble. It's one thing to play hard, but when you openly admit to hitting to inflict pain, it crosses a line.
Nurse has every right to feel the need for retribution. The NHL is a physical game, but there's a code of conduct that players are expected to follow. If Nurse feels that Reaves' hit was intentional and meant to injure, then he has to stand up for himself. I get the argument about not wanting to put the team at a disadvantage, but sometimes you have to send a message.
And let's not forget, Nurse is a key player for the Oilers. Losing him to a fight could hurt the team, but if he doesn't respond, it might send the wrong message to the rest of the league. It's a tough spot to be in, but I think he has to take care of business when they meet again.
What do you think? Should Nurse go after Reaves, or should he focus on the game?
