  1. Bench Bouchard and Freddy, would MUCH rather see Philp, Walman, Regula, etc play. And McDavid is now afraid to shoot the puck

  2. Bouchard is a terrible skater. He needs power skating or some sort of skating technique help.

  3. Bouchard SUCKS!!! Guy has cost the team sooooo many games on his terrible plays… Stanley cup final games do I need to say more… he’s a liability out there NOT and asset!! And yet they throw this guy how much on his contract… mind blowing 🤯 how they think he’s good. He just shoots and prays out there…

  4. AGAIN THERE IS A QUICK SOLUTION

    PULL BOUCHARD OFF DEFENSE, – PUT HIM AS RIGHT WING FORWARD – FOR CONNOR AND LEON line right side (hymans old spot), I BET TEAM WOULD lose less games , and provide more goals for the top line .

    Has potential as a forward , absolutely horrific as a D man and has no interest to get better or try harder , even @ 10.85 million .

    I called it yet again . was easy to predict that outcome . Only logical solution is move to forward wing position permanently , bet his motivation increases 10x fold same game on forward through season .

    Or keep him on D and regret it eternally knowing full well the results of indecision

  5. Do you not talk to the players between periods and tell them to WAKE UP!? powerplay sucks all they do is pass pass .. Mcdavid has given this disease to all the players where they all just keep passing back and forth

  6. 97 forgot and scared to shoot a puck bench douchard and Fredric douchard should’ve traded him or something Fredric’s the worst signing oilers had this off season skinner played solid

  7. Oh my god sit bouch so he can pull his head out of his ass!!!!! For the love of Christ he struggled, you would almost think it was a Stanley cup final the way he played

  8. McDavid will pass and not shoot, no goals every goalie knows he will pass the puck. Two goals is all this team can muster, not a recipe for success.

  9. Seems like a $10.5M-a-year zero-D Bouchard decided to play for the other team yet again this season. Keeping him was a huge mistake.

  10. Crazy idea. it's a bit out there, but hear me out. Maybe try not taking tons of lazy penalties and actually play with a little bit of discipline?

  11. How many times are we going to have to watch Bouchard make BONEHEAD decisions before he gets it? Embarrassing to give him and Nurse 20 million dollars. Clearly management is failing this team and has been for the last 20 years!!!! SUCH A JOKE

  12. If you’ve seen him ā€œplay betterā€ why didn’t you bench him knowing he was having a horrible night

  13. If a player is playing as bad as you know who did, you have got to bench them for the rest of the game.

  14. Kris how long do you need to wait. Bouchard is at his peak in hockey decisions. He's not thinking and when he make a mistake the puck is in the net. Skinner is not good at one on one. We loose at shoot outs.

  15. I understand you only have 6 defencemen, so you can't just bench Bouchard for the game, but send a message to him and the team by sending him to Bako for a week & bring someone else up. Bouchard is absolute garbage. No, Knoblauch, he IS NOT one of the best defencemen in the NHL.

  16. It’s the simple fact that Bouchard clearly doesn’t care enough. He coughs up a horrible giveaway (once again, big surprise) and casually skates back, all the while within stick reaching distance, but doesn’t give that 100% effort to get there. Just gives it away and lets the guy score.

  17. Chill boys its not the end of the world Tighten up learn and improve our mistakes …
    PLAY simple hockey šŸ’

  18. I think imm going to apply for a job on the bench šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ ENERGY BOOSTER

  19. I said a couple days ago here on YouTube that Bouchard is not a good D man and that I am not surprised he’s not on team Canada and I was told I was wrong.
    Well… šŸ‘€

  20. lets be for real here, as a Defencemen Evan is one of the worst in the league, as a purely pp quarter back or an offensive D, yeah, he's elite. Every one saw Bouchard get walked in the Finals, so every team does that to him now.

  21. Oilers think they are too good for the regular season, coasting about 80% of the game, showing urgency only when we go down. Playing like that all year will lead to bad habits that we won't be able to correct.

  22. Bouchard doesn’t think the game quick enough. A slow game and he’s fine but a fast game he can’t keep up

  23. Kinda hard to believe that a modern coach who handles the multimillionaire with respect will demand accountability. It’s one thing to say the play is unacceptable. The real question is what are the consequences for a player with a documented history of mind blowing turnovers & and apparent lack of recovery effort. You could say Bouchard cost his team both of their losses — by doing nothing whatsoever prior to the 3rd Calgary goal; and by giving up a breakaway in the Islanders game. That’s 3 listings points very early in the season. Get my point? At this rate the list points will cost the Club dearly in the standings by the end of season.

  24. I don’t really no what this coach is saying my goodness sake’s come on now get your head out of Bouchards ass like really just why would you think he’s one of the best defence in the league please just please watch him play maybe just maybe you’ll see what everyone is seeing by far not even close to being one of best F sakes
