  1. Bouchard was also on the ice for the overtime goal. He has always been lazy and should be benched or even a healthy scratch to give somebody an opportunity to show some passion and who is willing to work.

  2. Bouchard skated harder to the bench after that second goal then he has in his entire career.

  3. the first time I can excuse jsut a very unfortunate bounce but that last one was painful, not even in a beer league have I seen just a blatant deadpan stop of just giving up on the defensive rush against what was barely even a breakaway.

  4. When are the coaches going to hold him accountable for this bullsh*t? Bouchard's ass should have been stapled to the bench after that

  5. The second play is insane. It was so jarring watching live. Bouchard is still the closest player to the puck even after it's crossed his own blueline and somehow he decided to stop skating. I get not committing both Dmen to the forward in case of a big rebound, but in this case that should be eckholm. Shockingly bad defending here.

  6. bouchard should just play forward. absolutly nothing in his defensive game. 0. nada. sooooo bad defensively.

  7. He wasn’t going to get to that puck in time on the second goal…but lol, you still need to try

  8. "Bouchard had a great game for us" – Craig Berube
    (OK, he didn't really say that. Not out loud, anyway.)

  9. McDavid needs to get out of Deadmonton, if anyone thinks the Oilers are getting to the SCF again they're dreaming, that was one of the bigger flukes in NHL history.

  10. I said from the start he was like a lost child who gives up when he screws up..Buy a new high powered defenceman…He doesn't have that little extra that it takes to win…

  11. Jesus christ. Did Bouch place a bet on the Leafs? His effort on the go ahead goal was uninterested, at best.

  12. Perfect examples of why he's overrated. The Oilers are a decent team, no doubt, but aside from Draisaitl, every one of them is overrated for what they are because McDavid is carrying them. Nurse, Bouchard, Hyman… Heck, look at LA, the team Edmonton has owned for the last few years. Replace Bouchard with Doughty, Nurse with Clarke, and Hyman with Kempe, I guarantee the Oilers are better and LA is worse.

  13. People tend to forget that sportsnet are owned by the same idiots that own the leafs
    But yup
    Reminds me of that other moron that 7se to play for the Oilers in 06 that took out rollie the goalie
    That there is why these guys are way over paid
    Get the contact then j7st sit on your ass and act like you don't need to earn it anymore

  14. The first play is an accident, its the second one that's inexcusable. He gave up when the leafs player passed the blue line.

  15. hey Matthews, hurry and get back,these guys are winning too many games without you ,lol ,oh ,and also ,stay off the RBC commercials, you look like an idiot

  16. To be fair to Bouch he probably thought the second one hit the crossbar but that backcheck would get you benched in peewee lol

  17. Wow. I thought only Oleksiak did stuff like that…up until this season. Thankfully, The Rig has looked way better, which may have something to do with him playing with Brandon Montour.

  18. Pathetic play. He was probaby trying to clean up any rebounds on the second play nit with no other leafs around u gotta just hustle on that one.

  19. I've been saying this for a while now that Bouchard is unreliable and more of a liability to the team. He provides next to 0 defence and when hes on offence he fumbles the puck at the blue line, fans on a shot, gets his shot blocked (90% of the time) and now he has no hustle for the back check. I really hope they get rid of him for someone actually reliable…
