#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.
