I'd hardly blame the D pairs for the loss.
Maybe that's just me though.

Were you watching the same game as me? We didn't badly outplay the Oilers at all. It wasn't a beat down but they outplayed us especially on the forecheck. Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett, Tkachuk all need to be way better.
Gaudreau looked the best of the bunch but that's not saying much. Bennett looked good on the pp late as well but didn't have a strong game but was also carrying Tkachuk on his back. Backlund Frolik and Stajan pretty much the only forwards to actually play a complete game.
Also what does Ferland add to this team? We don't play the Canucks 82 games a year.
