These pairings are infinitely better on paper than last years pairings. How is it possible that our D is just as bad? Boggles the mind.
Taken from the line combo thread this time last year:
N.Schultz / Ference - weaker
Smid / Petry - wash
J.Schultz / Belov - much weaker just because of Marincin over Belov
Can we send down Hunt and Nurse, recall Klefbom, and freakin' bench Ference already? The captain has been absolutely abysmal thus far.
Marincin Petry
Nikitin Fayne
Klefbom/Nurse Schultz
Press box - Ference
Ference IMO has been easily our worst defenceman this year and he needs to be sat. I could couldnt care less that he is the captain bench his ass
Hopefully this means nurse back to JR

I don't know about this honestly... I love the kids battle.
To be fair though, I haven't analyzed whether he has been the culprit on many GA as I did not watch last night - has he been?

His battle is what is getting him into trouble imo. He's too aggressive out there. Doesn't take enough time to size up the situation. He's not ready for prime time yet.
No shame in that. Few 19 year old d-men are.
so the Oilers are righting a wrong that should've never happend
Marincin-Petry
Nitikin-Fayne
Ference-Schultz
Ference could use a healthy scratch or two but that won't happen..
its simple
Nikitin is about the only weak point in that equation. Unless he turns things around he certainly looks like a bit of a failed experiment.
