Edmonton Oilers’ Darnell Nurse gets called out and brutally trolled after he ended up injuring Dallas Stars’ Roope Hintz
Recently, videos of Roope Hintz limping as he went back to the locker room has gone viral and fans are calling out Darnell Nurse.
A fan took to X and wrote, “The NHL is going to continue to lose integrity if this play doesn’t result in some sort of suspension to Nurse”, while another fan wrote, “I was going to say Darnell wasn’t even looking but he’s literally laser focused on chopping his foot”.
A third fan commented, “Right on the top of the laces. ��. That's gonna leave a mark. Didn't go full Bobby Clarke, but I can tell you are hose hurt (along with pucks off the laces). Dirty? Yep”, while another fan wrote, “Nurse being a dirty piece of sh*t is the least surprising thing from this game.”
A fifth fan noted, “Yet this is only a 2 minor… bullsh*t. Oiler fans will still say the refs are in the stars pocket, even after tonight”
Another user wrote, “The ref's calling that a two minute penalty let's all the young players in this entire world know that that is okay to do to your opposing teammates. It's ridiculous it's absurd.”
