Nuge also got that dawg in him with the willingness to fight sometimes
Unlike Mathews Marner and Tavares 😂😂
Nuge is a solid top 6 forward who you can expect to always get around the 20-25 goal margin, and is a good player that being said its because of having guys like McDavid and Draisaitl around.
if the Oilers ever trade him they better be getting at least a late 1st Round Pick for him but hopefully he sticks around in Edmonton for the whole of his career or at least close.
He also has a very team friendly contract. I'm curious how he stacks up statistically against players with the same cap hit
@@BoonNBones what a braindead comment
Met him in real life one offseason through a friend and he's way more solid than he looks
Hugely underrated player. Has really come into his own this season though. Excited to see him in the playoffs.
I think “Nugely underrated player” would’ve been good here 😂
Last playoffs he really showed up
Nugely* underrated player. FTFY
@Tamman yeah, he really blew it hey?🤣🤣🤣
More like hugely underpaid. I can’t believe we’re paying nurse 9.25 while paying nuge 5 smh
Nuge is a slayer this year.
Him and Hyman putting up points like crazy. Both are such hard workers and good value players.
As a leaf I knew Hyman would bust out to be a good 60-70 point guy but non of the other leaf fans listen to me called him a bumb and a hack now they miss him
@@danielpetrucci8952 Hyman has a net presence that only Tavares is better at. And only because Tavares is much better at deflections. If it wasn’t for Johnny, the Leafs would be hurting badly losing Zach.
as a 200ft player nuge is one of the best. just look at his backchecks in last nights game, great stuff
@scottstenlund4431 I like kakko a lot but nuges worst producing season is still higher points per game than kakko this season
@scottstenlund4431 he’s got 16 in the last 25 which isn’t bad, hopefully he can keep it up and build on it
The last couple off playoffs have benefited players like nuge. He played what 7 years with no playoffs and never felt that next gear of intensity. Now he has and he is driven for more.
Thank you for showing Nuge some love. He is always overshadowed and flies under the radar. He has always been more of a defensive player and this season he has really tapped into his offense.
He's always been this good. Previous seasons his defensive responsibilities detracted from the offense. Oilers are better defensively now, i.e. he does not need to shelter other players as much, so he's free to produce more.
But ARE the Oilers better defensively? Ekholm is a nice addition, but I still think they're plenty flawed on the back end.
Your thoughts?
This sounds like you're coping hard my brudda
I love watching the Oilers but I'm new so maybe I just don't know enough haha
@@rjcolombe the past 3 games they have looked ok, but the 10 before that I would call among the worst in the league defensively. They have players that are capable but they certainly don't show it every game. That said I don't need them too until the playoffs start, as long as they can get in.
@@smaug1234 Fair point. I don't think it's a secret around the league that the Oilers plan here is to simply outscore any defensive liabilities they have.
@@DomskiPlays Coping hard?
As an Oilers fan. I'm happy for Nuge. He's always been a great special teams guy. I've always considered him as a below average 5v5 guy. He's had an outstanding year however.
Feels like most Oilers fans forget, many of us were 50/50 when his contract was signed.
He's been a stud this year however, no debate there.
I don’t know if many were 50/50, Oilersnation was literally printing “keep Nuge forever” shirts at one point and it’s a great deal to keep him for the rest of his career. He’s always been a stud
Like Bergeron, In Nuges 3rd year as an Oiler, during an interview he was phrasing that he wanted to work more on his defense to develop as a two-way player for years to come. At that point, he was aware of the Oilers were not playoff ready. He felt that if he can improve his defense, his offense will go along with it, and surely it's paid off. You don't often get those types of 1st overalls
Totally agree with the Bergeron-esque-like performance this season. McDavid and Drais might be the faces of the team, but Nuge is a major component of the leader by example for the team.
He's never complained, he's never even remotely insinuated that he's unhappy with any situation that he's put in, and he took the biggest hometown discount that I've ever seen. "You need me to play 2nd line centre? You got it. You need me to play the wing? No problem. You need me to play 3rd line centre? I can do that too." How many 1stOA picks are willing to be that flexible?
Edmonton is legitimately his home, and when it came time to make the decision on how bad really wanted to stay here, he literally put his money where his mouth is. They BETTER retire his number when his career is over. 94 should already be retired, but hopefully they do the right thing and get 93 up there. Absolute gem of a player and a person.
Last summer he said he wanted to work on his game more so the team could go on another deep playoff run. And yep he’s lived up to what he said this year and gotta give Hymann some credit too. RNH is on pace to finish with 90 points hell of a season if he dose
He’s finally getting his flowers man. Underrated for years. My guy
Nuge is one of those cats that has always had all the talent in the world but needed the right team/system to shine
RNH has always been my favourite player. He is usually overshadowed by McDavid and Draisailt combination. But, he has his epic moments and I have always believed that he is THE leader of this team. Connor wears the C but RNH is the one guy you can always rely on in a way that Connor/Leon are still not quite there - and that's the consistency of RNH as a two way player. It is so unusual to see him have a bad game or an off game. He is consistent consistent CONSISTENT. And you always hear about how involved he is with the team. Mentors younger players and keeps himself active in the community. Love to see it! He is their best two way player and I really think that he is heavily relied on to ensure the opposing team's top line doesn't outscore OUR top line through his great backchecking, PK role, and refuses to let the other team get the puck off him. Jay puts him out against the top line all the time and he delivers this excellent two way play that is so impressive and consistent. Really allows the other superstars to focus on scoring. You just hope the young guys are taking it in and learning from him. If we win the cup, I know McDavid would get to hold it first as Captain, but RNH better get to hold it second because he is the heart of this team in my opinion and he deserves that. (It is Connor's team but that doesn't mean he is the heart of this team, it takes more than legendary status to be the heart of something, the poster boy yes but not the heart necessarily.) I hope we keep RNH forever and retire him as an Oiler. No trades and no moving!!!
Thanks for your insightful comment. I am a Wild fan, but I am watching the Oilers tonight. I am going to watch RNH more carefully. You've given me some specific things to watch for.
I think that’s fair enough. RNH completely overhauled his game to be a 2 way player, Drai and McD haven’t done that yet.
Gonna have to get his jersey on the alternate, just like another spectacular Ryan from the previous gen. Just wish I could have appreciated Smyth but I was a bit too young and didn't follow hockey as much back then.
I've been a Nuge cultist for a while, but mainly because I liked his playmaking and character. Your surprise about his career year so far is fair and relatable. It's clear something has lit a fire in 93. Here's hoping it burns long and strong. Go Oilers!
figured his fight against the leafs in defense of Yamamoto was the catalyst for this video. Lol its not even mentioned. I thought that was a brilliant moment showing leadership this season and another step in his growth. Keep Nuge forever!
Yes,a side rarely seen, and did very well. Comes with the A on his jersey great to see
I've always liked RNH. I've always wondered if he ever got traded to a team where he didn't play behind two mega stars, how different his career would be. I think he is also becoming a Selke candidate as well.
The oil fans love him. Always have and always will. It's the way he plays. He's dedicated to his 2 way game. You lose him the Oilers are nothing to what they are now. This year he found his offensive side while maintaining his 2 way game
I remember in his rookie season some analyst called him, "the best 12 year old in the NHL." I wish I could remember the guy's name.
he sure has aged. he looks 15 now.
The best was when Nuge and the Boush were doing a pregame interview
And the reporter said to Nuge I see you brought your father
Within 15 feet of the net Ryan is showing his exceptional finishing skills this year. As a bonus he beat the crap out of Justin Holl this week. Complete player.
To be fair beating up justin holl isnt that hard us leafs fans do it all the time
@@vaughngiesbrecht9668 Exactly!
I’ve always figured he had another gear or two in him. I always thought a point per game would be very realistic. I never thought a 100 point season would be possible though, but it’s quite possible this year.
I don’t know if this is the McDavid And Draisaitl Effect or the fact that the Oilers FINALLY have a good bottom six, or both, but it definitely seems to have allowed him to open up his game.
Definitely becoming more and more exciting for us Oilers fans in the past year.
Thank you so much for recognizing rnhs amazing play this year
Didn’t even mention him stopping the 2 on 1 then setting up a goal right after yday
Finally nuge gets some love.. I totally agree he looks absolutely stellar this season.. he’s fire
What an absolute dynamite takeaway and pass to Yamamoto for the breakaway goal last night! BANG! Right on the tape! And two lovely goals himself! Been a great consistent grafter for the Oilers for 12 years, through good and bad, and wonderful to see him having a bloody great season - already ahead of his goals total with 20 games to go - would be great to see him score 45 or more!
I Can't agree more. He was on fire last night and lead the team to victory! We need him to do it again tonight when we play the jets for the 2nd time
There's a saying in Oil Country, "Keep Nuge Forever"
nuge has always been my favorite player ever since he got drafted, glad hes getting recognition
Nuge has more goals then Matthews
We have a saying in Edmonton, Keep Nuge Forever, nuff said.
Didn't expect it, but was pleasantly surprised to see him drop the gloves the other day. Always kind of thought of him on the soft side a bit, but he did good in trying to prove that narrative wrong. Good for skilled guys like him and William Nylander for sticking up for themselves once in awhile.
A 5.125mil AAV is a steal also. Essentially an oiler now for his career.
They'll name a street after that boy someday........and they better.
This is what I’ve been saying! Nuge is finally playing like a first overall pick
Highly underrated I think he is awesome , watched him in Red Deer lots
We love nuge he’s been my favourite player on the oilers for a long time while over 5 year now. No one from Edmonton ever talks bad about him, he’s always solid, one of the most consistent players in the nhl. Always had talent
A buddy of mine played in the WHL at the same time as RNH and asked RNH to sign his own broken stick after they played against each other. He is also a massive Oilers fan so it was pretty cool to see RNH get drafted by the Oilers later on. That same buddy also played against Eberle and the Pats the year after Eberle was drafted by the Oilers and he waited in the autograph line in his (Lethbridge) Hurricanes gear after their game to get him to sign his Oilers hat. I had the opportunity to meet RNH in the offseason and he's awesome.
#KeepNugeForever
Edit: RNH was routinely dragged down by garbage teammates for most of his career and sacrificed offense for defense to make up for his bad linemates. People forget that once Eberle and Hall were traded RNH became the babysitter of every line he played on until this year
Nuge is huge🙌
Great contract, Good 2-way player, good playmaker, strong shot, can fight, leadership, skills. He gives you a decent bit of everything. Just a complete player.
I lived in Red Deer for several years. Watched him play as a Rebel live. The crowd was there to just watch him.
Shoutout to the Oiler organization for keeping him for as long as they have. They knew what they had
Nug is a beast!
I am so happy to hear that other people are on the same page as me. I am a life-long Oilers fan but I don't live in Alberta anymore so I watch from afar. And I have always liked RNH. I was worried that he was getting overlooked and that people didn't appreciate him. I like the guy, I like what he brings to the team, and I hope they keep him forever. Yeah I was in the Centrium before...back when Cam Ward was playing there!! I miss the Hockey culture in AB for sure. Glad to see the teams doing well. I don't even hate the Flames, although I really should. But Calgary is such a nice city that I hope their Flames can make it into the playoffs. No hate from here!! Great video topic, gained a like, subscribe, and comment from me.
I called this years ago, I said he would have a 30 goal season and look like someone that could win the selke and have a good bit of points. Good to know I was right. He’s also a fighter, watch the hell out: the Nuge is huge
Been following hockey since 1976.
Watching Nuge's flight this season has been just awesome
Live in Red Deer. Watched so many great players come out of the Rebels system. Extremely underrated community within the actual hockey scene. Hated the Oilers never let Nuge come back to Red Deer like he wanted to.
that 100 point projection was on point!
I honestly was surprised too
.. was looking at stats last night and was pleasantly surprised to see RNH be way above a point per game.
i went to an open practice and saw nuge, i got a signed training jersey and a photo, love this guy, he’s the reason i’m an oilers fan, i started watching hockey around him being drafted. much respect for nuge
I always knew he had a deadly wrister and he's finally really taking advantage of it this year!!! Never knew he'd be gunning for 100 but I knew he could put up some good numbers and proving it now
So many are attributing RNH production to his teammates. Finally someone like you comes along and shows all the video and breaks down the numbers that prove that RNH is a player on a team with Connor McDavid.
Live in reddeer and watching rnh was magical stuff when he was w the rebels
When Nugent-Hopkins was in junior he was a point getter, hence the ranking of the best available player at the draft.
Then he came into the NHL, he was playing and/or thinking that was going to happen still. Over a few years he slowly started to realize that he was not necessarily going to that still.
So he trained or practiced more as he realized that his game and himself would be different and have to adapt.
And now he has become of the better 2-way forwards, and he could possibly (granted will take more time) be as good as the best in Patrice Bergeron.
As an Oiler fan i am still glad they took him over Landeskog.
Nuge is one of the best two way players in the NHL.
Everyone in Edmonton talks about nuge, in the arena if he gets the puck we yell “NUGEEEE” it’s awesome when the whole arena does it. But yeah if the league starts talking about them that’s amazing he’s getting notice for his hard work
Nuge never gets the credit and acknowledgment he deserves. Been one of the most consistent player for the last decade
he is bout to make me buy 5 more jerseys of him
I was in high school when he was playing for the rebels. I worked at Mcdonalds and the owner had season tickets. I was literally the only person who liked hockey so I went to almost every game. Its now called the Peavey Mart Centrium since Red Deer just got a new Huge peavey mart store as well as a massive depot/office building. I still love taking my kids to games as its like $15 for kids and $25 for adults no matter the seat. The food is amazing and super cheap. For anyone who lives close enough and has never been I would strongly recommend! Love your content keep it coming!
i’m a flames fan who started liking the oilers like a year ago and i like nuge, hope he reaches a 100 pts
RNH (before this season) is like toast and scrambled eggs. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, it’s gonna be exactly what you expect, it’s relatively healthy . McDavid may be lobster and Drai is Prime Rib, but you can’t always eat fancy surf and turf dinner, you also need a good hearty egg breakfast.
I agree
@@totex__botex3889 are you stalking me mr Totex
@@picklenik9658 yes
Grew up in Red Deer so have been to the Centrium many times, I now live in Calgary and only see the Oilers when they come to the dome. What a game last night! Nuge is huge! Love your content BTW! Subbing
I’ve been saying it for years, if they ever trade nuge, I’ll hurl myself from the high level bridge
Good job Johnny...Nuge is huge....I know someone who called him Nugets . like the Mcdo stuff......great player..humble.. works hard.
Saw him at the young stars tournament in Penticton, guy was a beast and just got better and better over the years.
that's what is blowing me away with nuge is that this year he is making so many great plays and creating so many opportunities vs needing mcdavid or drai to feed him
Nuge's been my fave since 2011
Swiss Army knife. Touches every aspect of the game, with effort & grace. Never complains. #keepnugeforever
Centrium is like 2 minutes from my house, remember watching Nuge play there! Especially wish I had gotten a jersey while he was on the Rebels as an Oilers fan, but I was still a young teenager at the time!
They call it the coffin. Everyone sitting on their hands until they do the t shirt sling fling, then the all the suburban fatties get excited
Yes i watched him in red deer he was a freak against other junior players still wicked in the nhl also beast name
Centrium arena is a really solid arena that’s designed well for a smaller place
Nuge has been mr. Reliable for a long time. It's nice to see him having such a great season, he's the backboneof the team for sure.
I grew up 20 minutes east of the centrium. Been there many times.
He looks like a completely different player this year. What a season he's having. Don't be surprised to see him get some selke votes
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Ryan Smyth. Best fan fav players
RNH is what Patty was for the Devils. An absolute SOLID player who would be productive while not having that "superstar" vibe. Then he would break out when the team was ridiculously good and succeed! Won a few Cups also. And then for that, he became an absolute legend for the team! As well as for hockey in general. I see this happening for RNH... minus the Cups... lol
I went to highschool with him great guy glad to see him doing so good
I love the sentrium and red deer I went to watch him just before he was drafted
It's the peaveymart centrium now lol I live in RD and still love going to a game every now and again
Nuge is having a great year, good to see it happen, Go Oilers!
He is also pretty handy with his fists. A really tough guy! Wow! He is the guy you want on the power play but equally as important, on the penalty kill. The Nuge and Hyman on the PK… yeah man!!
You nailed this one on the button! I totally agree!
Damn, the Oilers have 3 100+ point guys and Hyman looking like 90+ too.
Yes I saw him play against my BWK lol yeah I was hoping my Oilers would draft him. We did!!!
Nuge is a quiet player that does a lot with very little fan fair he is a great veteran
Nuge is the man. As an Oiler fan I respect a Calgary fan saying nice things about players who deserve it. Despite us being on opposite sides of the provincial hockey rivalry.
The thing to remember about the 2011 draft is that it wasn't a strong draft. Huberdeau, Scheifle, and Gaudreau are the only ones that have more points from that draft class.
Long time Oil fan here, and I too thought I had Nuge figured out. He has been a scoring machine this year, and he even fought? I mean, he might have before but that's the first I've seen him fight.
Been to the Centrium. Nuge is underrated. Everyone looks at his offensive numbers but he's solid on D.
Nuge has always been a guy who was actually hurt, rather than helped, by being surrounded by great players. Whether it was behind Hall and Eberle or behind McDavid and Draisaitl - Nuge was always the #3 guy. When you've got a team with that many 'top guys' he ends up on a different line as a result - and for a long time his numbers were down because he'd be expected to be two-way as he's too small to check. Happy to see his growth. Still pissed I can't say the same for Nail Yakupov.
Most underrated player in the NHL. Both sides if the puck dude is elite. One of the best playmakers in the league and has a lethal wrister. Also a big penalty killer.
Nug is just as good as anyone from om the 2011 draft. Point wise at least. The goal is to get the best player available and it's hard to say who was when you look at the names. Agreed he doesn't have last year Huberdeau season, but he will. He may not be a legend but it has to be a relief to never have to hunt for a second line center and know exactly what you're going to get.
Incredible year for the NUGE. Today, he's got more GOALS than Tavares, Matthews and Marner, as well as more points than Matthews, Tavares, AND Nylander. Are you kidding me? He is under the radar, but is a star this year, and as you say, a solid two way player who is amazing on a back check.
The Nuge cult is real, and there is tons of love for him. :P
Nuge is also probably the best Defensive forward on the Oilers
He’s literally on my fantasy team and even I didn’t know he was producing at this level. 😮😂
Splooge 4 Nuge… drafted him early in fantasy this year, had a feeling bout him ( and Nylander) and I’m 2nd in my league 😎
Nuge is fantastic considering that is putting up points without being on McDavids line.
More than half his points are on the power play. The line thing is a bit skewed
I’ve been to the Red Deer arena many times to watch the Res Deer Rebels
