Bouchard gets the record for most assists by a defenseman in a playoff run.

[Nadal On Clay]

Is he elite yet?

Breaks Paul Coffey's record. Coffey is coaching him.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Incredible feat.

 

[YEGJuniorFan]

I think Edmonton is pretty content with him regardless of the terminology used to describe him.

 

[snipes]

Climbing single season points in the playoffs for a D man

 

[BraveCanadian]

Breaks Paul Coffey's record. Coffey is coaching him.

I think Coffey really helped Bouchard break out

 

[MessierII]

There is no D man playing that has ever in their careers had as many points in the playoffs as Bouchard right now.

 

[Dominance]

114 points in 104 games this year, and his defensive metrics are quite sterling in sharp contrast to the peanut gallery.

 

[11Messier]

Maybe next year he will move up from AHL'er to a true NHL 3rd pairing.

 

[GreeningOil]

Maybe next year he will move up from AHL'er to a true NHL 3rd pairing.

MAYBE. We need to be sure that he does it for at least 700 more games at this level before we get that crazy

 

[snipes]

I still remember those handful of Canucks fans that called him an ECHLer a couple years ago.

On an absolute historic run by a D man in the playoffs.

 

[Calderon]

2nd in all time ppg in playoff scoring (Orr 1st obv).

 

[ChaoticOrange]

there are going to be a lot of very upset fans of the Vancouver Canucks in here any moment

the modern mike green

 

[tabness]

just as with McDavid's record: soft era doesnt count

 

[ChaoticOrange]

the modern mike green

Fun fact:

Mike Green had 38 playoff points in his 76 game postseason career playing with arguably the best goalscorer in the history of the sport

Evan Bouchard has 32 playoff points *this run*

 

[Danarqhy]

Yeah but it's 99% because of McDavid. You put MAB with McDees and he has 300 points already.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Yeah but it's 99% because of McDavid. You put MAB with McDees and he has 300 points already.

When McDavid had 153 points in 2022-23, Edmonton's top scoring defenceman had 43 points.

Bouchard almost doubled that and he continued it into the playoffs.

It's okay to admit Bouchard is extremely talented too. It won't hurt you.

 

[Warh1ppy]

Crazy. But if this goes to game 7 at this rate. it is entirely possible. WILDLY out there but possible, that Bouchard hits 40 points this playoff season

 

[11Messier]

Yeah but it's 99% because of McDavid. You put MAB with McDees and he has 300 points already.

yeah... other elite defensemen never play with good players.

Oops, guess that guy has to go back into hiding.

 

[604]

Some real Rob Brown vibes.

There’s a real talent but it’s obviously enhanced with McD. No way to tell how much.

 

[Drumman44]

Glad Duncan Keith could impart his wisdom

 

[Nogatco Rd]

There must be some mistake, I was told this guy sucks?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

There must be some mistake, I was told this guy sucks?

@Oleksiak tell the man how the defenceman with the most assists in a playoff run in NHL history is ECHL caliber at best
