Bouchard for Norris…you have my attention!
Nice to see you recognize Evan. His progression has been tremendous this year. Yes, Ekholm gets praise for helping, but Paul Coffey coming in as a defense coach was probably the biggest catalyst. The Bouch bomb! Who says the slapshot is gone from the game!
* No one mentions that the Oiler's 10 game winning streak is a franchise record (not SDP, 32 Thoughts, the CJ Show…). That's pretty impressive considering the early history of the Oil (nearly 45 years in the making).
Keep up the great content!
I love bouch, especially what he brings to the PP and offense in general..but he also makes some big mistakes in transition that have almost hurt this team a couple of times
Quinn Hughes is the top D-man in the league.
Congrats on the new channel! It will surely help the YouTube algorithm. Bouchard is turning into the stud defenseman Oilers fans hoped he'd be.
The offense is there, but he coughs up the puck way too easily in the defensive zone and he needs to get much more physical in the corners and in front of is own goal. There's more to being an NHL defenseman than taking shots from the blue line.
holy shitnickles a east coaster praising a oiler 🤯
never thought I would see the day
I’d say he’s probably 5th this season after Hughes Makar Dobson Hronek. Still having a great season, could be better defensively
not on Defense, he scores on a Power Play, weak on Defense
Are you joking? You think he's better than Hughes or Makar?? Give your head a shake dude!
Hes 10 points behind the points lead and hes 25 points behind in plus minus. Behind the same people…
Love you on sdpn jesse. Happy to be among the first of many subs to the new channel. I told friends who would listen weeks ago to put a small amount on him for Norris. Who knows what could happen?
Bouchard does a lot of things very good but at times he is a defensive liability!!
he would definitely have a chance if guys like hughes and makar weren’t just on another level like most other years he’d definitely have a great chance
I think Bouchard is kind of the next shea weber. Massive slapshot, good D.
