Why can every other channel show replays of plays but you guys just have snipped pictures or stills? So tacky.
Boogard was great last season and now has regressed completley its a shame but the management needs to get rid of liabilties
I've never seen an NHL defenceman who cares less when the puck is not on their stick than Evan Bouchard.
You guys were literally mad a few weeks ago for Canada potentially adding Wilson because it was a player they felt gave something they didn't have and you guys said just pick the better player, but now we are talking about Chris Tanev replacing Evan Bouchard because team Canada doesn't need anymore of the same player?????
Dobson is also a bit d-suspect, but a better skater than Bouch. Oilers are not doing it this year. They need folks who are currently delivering, not on past or projected. Stamkos at 34 is not 200 ft physical. The guy has had tragic injury luck and had to temper his on puck aggression.
Bouch just needs to do better in general, he's been turning the puck over to the opposing team on the regular and then just coasts down the ice allowing it to become a breakaway or a 2 on1!
If I were team Canada I would not touch Bouchard with a 10 foot pole. He is big and has a bomb of a shot but he is junk defensively. Team Canada does not need a bomb from the point on their team because if team Canada ever has a powerplay, Makar is on the ice. Team Canada needs defensive dmen on the back end not offensive dmen
The next game you watch, please count the number of times they make a pass like that. Most of the time it will get through. There was nothing wrong with it. Bad timing/bad bounce led to the chance for Knies.
Sometimes i think you guys need to play the game more rather than just talk sgit about it.
I wouldn't hold my breath. He's just happy to be in the NHL.
His nickname should be Jon Snow..
Bouchard stinks.
"How about… no?" – Evan Bouchard, probably
This is middle of Nov. and Bouchard and Ekholm are already running on empty. Knoblauch has no choice but to overplay them witness the times Edmonton defensemen have to go into the other teams corners. The team is not deep enough and salary cap issues prevent making improvements,it’s to bad that 97 and 29 don’t have the support they deserve.
10:20 I absolutely hate this about Bouchard and there are numerous instances of him coasting behind opposing players in games especially this season. He is a liability in his own end. To the point of winning his minutes: last season he was +34, so far this season he is minus 1, he was minus 3 against Montreal. And I hear the Oilers are considering paying him 10 million??? Boggles the mind.
That no-backcheck effort against the McMann breakaway. Then after the goal was scored, he sped his way to the bench…
I am tired of people comparing Bouchard to Hughes. As it stands now, Bouchard is a good player if he wants to be – hell of a shot but definitely benefits from the Oilers PP. Hughes? He IS the Vancouver power play. Bouchard is a player, Hughes is a manager.
That back skate on the McCann goal was a disgrace
Literally bank it off the boards past OEL and let Mcdavid try to win that foot race that's also a better option then a FULL CROSS ICE PASS!
He sucks defensively rn but it's like people forgot that when it mattered the most (playoffs), he was not only absolute beast offensively, but when it comes to decision making and defending, arguably better than ekholm. He is gonna be fine.
Fascinating player. He's either playing like a generational defenseman or a beer league defenseman. One of the most offensively gifted defenseman we've seen in the last 30 years. But one of the worst defense you will ever see.
I’d rather have Reilly than Bouch. Argue with a wall
Another "GREAT" game from the Oilers! They conceded “only” 5 goals 🤣with amazing help from defender Bouchard 😂😂
and the magical goalkeeper “Skinner the Winner”😝. What a game! what a coach Knob!😂
As an oilers fan they need to trade Bouchard while he’s worth something because all year he’s just going to do same crap and next summer they will pay him huge
