In fact, the Edmonton Oilers continue to defend Nurses' contract and himself as they feel it's not his fault he was handed such a contract.
Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts:
#LetsGoOilers players get angry when Darnell Nurse gets criticized for making $9,500,000 a year. They believe it is not fair for him to get criticized him because he was offered that contract.
Luckily, Nurse is taking the criticism well as he was a crucial factor during last night's series clinching win over the powerhouse Dallas Stars.
Darnell Nurse was worth every penny in game six.
