Tyler and Liam break down the Oilers’ new defensive pairings and what they could mean moving forward. With Darnell Nurse off to an inconsistent start this season, the guys debate how his play has impacted the blue line and what adjustments could help him find his game.
They also dive into the potential pairing of Mattias Ekholm and Jake Walman, discussing how that duo could bring more stability, puck movement, and balance to the Oilers’ defense.
Could this be the combination that finally settles the Oilers’ back end? The boys discuss.

Ceci for Nurse. "There isn't a team that will take Nurse" 😂 Holland is still a GM.
Ceci is a serviceable D, that teams give 20 minutes a night for some reason.
To shadow and distract away from bouch blunders , by drawing attention to a different line .
THESE ARE NOT THE DROIDS You're LOOKING FOR … waves hand …
Nurse is physical big, but he is dump and stupid. Tyler : Nurse can eat lots of minutes, but the more he plays, the more dump mistakes he makes. He is one of the worst D in the NHL, an AHL D for now. Bench him till he waives the NMC and send him to the minor so the team can gain 1.15M cap space, best scenario now.
Nurse would do better against lower lines and would be best suited as a bottom pair guy
