If Evan Bouchard constantly finds himself in the same conversations as Bobby Orr, maybe that means he’s good??? Who would have thought! In today’s Day After Discussion I break everything down from the Oilers’ historic night against the Capitals. Not to be overlooked too, Connor McDavid had 5 points last night for Edmonton! #oilers #edmontonoilers #nhl

The reason why people are like this with Bouchard is because for a layman it's so much easier to spot obvious bad mistakes than it is to spot all the numerous small things he does right. Breaking up passes, clearing rebounds, boxing out forwards, blocking a shot etc etc.
They just see when he falls on his ass on the blue line and gives away the puck for a breakaway against.
It's true that he makes unusual mistakes or sometimes looks like a pylon but his upsides outweights his downsides by a metric ton.
It's understandable many people cant see this but its still fucking annoying 😅
Nurse needs to be bought out either during this season, or at the latest, before McDavid’s final year of his contract. At that point, you’ve seen more than enough to buy him out or else the defense will continue to completely collapse mostly because of Nurse.
For straight D, Pronger, Coffey then Bouch. Too bad Prongers wife hated Edmonton. Eventually? Sure, Bouch Pronger Coffey. Coffey was an unreal skater, had an 8 point night.
Have you ever thought it is bowman?
Who starts federic on the top line after a summer he could not train? Was their pressure from someone that signed him to 7 yrs to play him?
Look at the investment they made to get Jarry ?
Who made that trade..management made an investment in Jarry and the cost was higher .
something to look into , it might not just be knobs call too
Solid video! Great breakdown of the team. 💙
I remember a few weeks ago you said any game night where the Oilers defense is just average is a gift from God. I'm paraphrasing but you get my drift. Any game night where Darnell Nurse plays average defensive hockey, we're definitely winning. It's my lock of the week! 😄
Put Nurse with Knoblauch.
Hi Austin! 🙂
Will you be streaming the Olympics
I was tired of watching the first PP line for so much time, I wanted to see the second line!!
This team is lucky they are in the Pacific, hope they can get McD a cup but seems like an uphill battle this year
Personally I really like Bouch, one of the best defence player !
Man… I love the Austin hockey YouTube channel
Darnell has the highest IQ in the nhl
He’s goalie and d man
So Bouchard has night that he has 6 points because McDavid is also cruising against obviously battling Capitals and you think this somehow shows he's good now? WTF are you talking about? You are f TOOL. @17:30 That's all Folks!
It's impossible to watch this game and not fall in love with this sport. We had some of these games in past seasons, I missed that so much! Go Oilers go!!!
crazy that we cough up 10 million dollars for nurse but can't even be bothered to sign our young free agents
need to get rid of Darnell nurses 10 million dollar anchor… bringing another d in a legitimate impact third line center
nurse is the one player who seems to be rewarded with bad play putting him with Bouchard that's crazy The only reason why he'd look good is cuz Bouchard's carrying him maybe he can play a physical element but I remember the playoffs there the other year with roberg carrying nurse from the opposite side it was embarrassing I was embarrassed for a nurse
In My books,,BOUCH owes us at least 3 more games like that last one!!!🤷♂️my opinion of course!!!
Very good ep. Exceptional break down of god bouch !
sometimes pulling your goalie isnt due to the way he is playing I think it was more of Knobs way of telling the team to wake the f up
