CONSEQUENCES?
Did Oilers miss Nurse after the injury? Absolutely. Did it cost them the game? Maybe? But losing Reaves for the game (& next five) is not a “loss” for Leafs.
In Vancouver, the Canucks lose Brock Boeser until Nov 30. The guy who hit him in the head, LA Kings’ Tanner Jeannott, missed only three games! WTF NHL. Seriously, WTF!

Oilers’ Nugent-Hopkins on Reaves-Nurse collision: ‘It’s a dangerous play’

"Dangerous play. You don’t ever want to see something like that.” Oilers veteran Ryan Nugent-Hopkins made his feelings on Ryan Reaves' hit on Darnell Nurse that earned him a match penalty after a tumultuous Maple Leafs victory.

@hanspetermeyer

Neither suspension was long enough. In fact, the NHL could have doubled the length of the suspensions and they still wouldn't be enough.

@csstrowbridge Yup. Just read that Nurse is out for 5-10 days. With CTE/mTBI these are only best guesses. Boeser out until Nov 30.
And Jeannotte is on the ice again, scoring goals…
And Reaves is out 5 games.
Consequences?

Grrrrr
