Evan Bouchard heating up.

[WarriorofTime]

He’s playing loose, he’s having fun and he’s starting to really light it up on the stat sheet. Is it time for the doubters to eat their crow when they were criticizing him incessantly earlier this season?

No, he’s still garbage defensively. No one had doubted his ability to put up points.

 

[Coffey]

He’s one game away from being sent to the ECHL

He’s actually not.

It's funny that this take is so bad and so dumb that people almost immediately know the source.

He may just win a Norris before his career is up. The Norris skews heavily towards stats for defensemen.

 

[Leafshater67]

Guys on here will bash him despite defending other dudes like Karlsson or Barrie for years.

First time seeing an offensive dman who’s weak in his own end guys? Lol… 10 point streak and counting. Dude is electric in the O zone

Would bet my life savings that Evan Bouchard never wins a Norris.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

ECHLer benefitting from McDrai

At what odds?

 

[La Bamba]

he randomly became the best point shot in the NHL, reminds me of Souray's with the power and accuracy

he's a 9.5/10 offensively and 3.5/10 defensively.. so 13/20 rating??

God I miss Sheldon. He was Ekholm plus Bouchard.

These types of bets don’t work, because for it to make sense on my side I would need the $$$ up front on your side, or significant odds. Waiting 12-15 years to double my money has no appeal.

I’ll gladly donate $10,000 CAD to a charity in Edmonton if he wins a Norris in his career though. Nice little free roll.

 

[McFlash97]

Skillset offensively is sublime. Since Coffeys arrival he is now playing positionally sound defensively. Looking like another superstar defenseman has arrived in this league. Shoots the puck like Macinnis, great passing and IQ, young.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Tyson Barrie Syndrome

 

[Oleksiak]

He’s actually not.

You actually think the way he plays in his own zone is acceptable?

Dude, no offense, but I absolutely don’t regard any opinion you have as legitimate.

 

[Oleksiak]

Dude, no offense, but I absolutely don’t regard any opinion you have as legitimate.

And I don't regard any excuses made for this useless pylon to be legitimate. He doesn't even try to play like an NHLer in his own zone.

 

[Osakahaus]

2018 draft still is a goldmine for defensemen

He has looked great since coaching change

I can't even recall one goof play like he was making constantly before lol

I barely notice the guy unless he is making a good breakout pass or dominating the PP

 

[Czechboy]

No doubt in my mind that Bouchard is the best ECHLer in the entire NHL!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I'm sure your "objective" eye test, says more than all the stats.

 

[snipes]

Just imagine what he could do if he was in the ECHL where he belongs
