I continue to be very angry at the D pairings. I feel as though we threw away points against the Oilers that were there for the taking.

Brodie and Giordano as a pairing is the most dominant force we have on our team - when they are on the ice the flow all goes the other way. Play them 30 minutes last night as a "warmup" for them, and I bet we win the game easily.

If Gulutzan wants to move away from that strength, I'm ok with it, but do it gradually and don't throw points away against our rivals. Just baffling to watch all three pairings struggle when we know we could have had one that would dominate half the game.
