Fans are ripping into Darnell Nurse for his horrible performances so far in the playoffs. While the Edmonton Oilers are still putting up a fight against the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals, some players are getting heat from fans and media for their lack of efforts and bad performances. Currently, no one gets more heat than Darnell Nurse. The defenseman signed a $9.25M AAV contract, which is why people expect a lot more from him. After the Oilers lost game three in the series against the Stars by a score of 5-3, negative feedback towards Nurse reached a new level. In 15 games so far, he scored only two assists, and has a -12 plus/minus. <q>Nurse being a -12 in 15 games is more impressive than sad. $9.25 million. #LetsGoOilers</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhlspotlight/status/1795305759942869468'> </a></blockquote></div> Also, in an interview, Nurse was asked to comment on the fact that the Stars ended up getting 13 straight shots on net and his answer didn't sit well with fans: <q>Darnell Nurse when asked tonight how to explain the Stars getting 13 shots in a row It's Hockey, It Happens I'm sorry man, this is the playoffs, that CAN'T HAPPEN!.

As of now, he failed to show that he deserves his high salary. However, the playoffs aren't over and he could still surprise us all and become an asset to his team instead of a liability.
