Just a Pic & Choose How to play Him ! – Thats on the Coach !!
Criticism coming from a guy who clearly has won more than Bouchard, right? RIGHT?
Bouchard is a BEAST in the playoffs. He literally scored Bobby Orr/Paul Coffey levels during the playoffs, his numbers rival the all-time greats. All while being completely solid even great defensively during the playoffs. THATS why he was paid. And THATS why comparing Bouchard to the Toronto Core 4 NO-SHOWS in the playoffs is pretty fuckin stupid.
Bouchard is a big reason the Oilers made the finals the last 2 years. That doesn't happen without him. So this idea, you can't win with him is also stupid. If a team can't win with him, then why did the Oilers win more than 31 other teams the last 2 years?
"The Oilers could have brought in someone else that could run the PP at half the price"
We did that, his name was Tyson Barrie, and while he feasted on the Oilers PP and did a fine job, he is nowhere NEAR the 5v5 player that Bouchard is. And when we had Barrie, the James Wisniewski prescription, the Oilers didn't win as much as they do now with a prime Bouchard. So literally all you have to do is look to 4 years ago to show that James Wisniewski is an idiot and doesn't know much about the Oilers.
YES. "And his defensive play"
Anyone that seriously thinks Bouchard is bad defensively, either don't know hockey or base their opinions on a isolated video clips of bad plays he's made. Sheep with no ability to think for themselves, so they buy the false narrative that he sucks defensively. Anyone that knows his game and knows hockey, knows he can be great defensively and usually is when it matters the most in the playoffs. The analytics will support this too. He is about average defensively in the regular season, and downright great defensively in the playoffs.
James Wisniewski….😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Have you ever watched oilers games? i mean With Your EYES OPEN . 83% of ALL goals against ARE BECAUSE OF BOUCHARD . Either you don't watch or you're lying to yourself .
RAY CHARLES COULD BE A BETTER DEFENSEMAN
BOUCHARD IS A GREAT FORWARD WITH MCDAVID And HYMAN . HORRIFIC DEFENSE MAN. LIABILITY FOR EVERY GOALIE . HE SHOULD GO TO BE A WINGER . HE WOULD BE EXCELLENT THERE. DEFENSIVELY HE SUCKS . a blind one legged man could do better . a parking lot pylon would be more effective .
