Marincin is the "can do no wrong" darling of vocal fans on twitter and around here.
Schultz has been bad long enough that finally sending him to the press box feels more like putting down a sick dog than actually achieving something meaningful.
No this is not even remotely correct. Marincin is far from can do no wrong by most fans. Especially the ones who are wondering whey he is getting sat.
Here is what we see. Players that are 100% for sure playing worse than him that are getting free passes on a regular basis and he is getting sat.
Come back to me an lecture us Marincin darlings after guys like Ferentz, Petry and Nikitn spend multiple games in the press box.
It's a matter of fair accountability and the the fact that oilers for years and years will talk about it but never really do it. Some players are sacred cows within the Oilers and the fans would not be upset at Marincin getting sat on his butt if other just as if nor more than deserving vets also rode the pine. That is the issue.
