I keep reading hes a good but flawed player. The reason being because the offence is so good and the D is not.

My question.. if the gold standard of defending, Rod Langway, were playing today... Would HF be shitting all over him because he was also a very good but flawed Dman. Great in his zone and bad in the offensive zone.

I can almost see the thread now... 'Langway is an ECHL player when he crosses centre ice'.
Nope. The main job of a defenceman is in the name of the position. There's simply no excuse for allowing a defenceman who can't play defence to dress in the lineup for any reason.

Why does he bother you so much? I wasn't a fan of his since he can't defend but when you see random posters on hfboards become all red with rage because he is putting up a million points it kinda makes me wanna root for the kid.

Are you a rival fan or something what am i missing here

He's a jealous Vancouver fan. Been crying about the Oilers for years.

Just really don't like seeing defencemen who are defensive liabilities. As an opposing fan, I love seeing that pylon on the ice.

They fear Bouch. They fear that he will produce more than Hughes and have to get ahead of the story.

He's probably mad that Bouchard has literally triple Quinn Hughes' points since he went ice cold six games ago haha.

So weird to be that insecure about one player and harp on it to that extent. Says so much more about the poster than the player.

Yes like the Oilers are such an elite team lol. What have the Oilers won ever since Gretzky cried after the trade? Nothing. The only thing Oilers know is to suck for multiple 1st overalls and even then they still can't win a cup.
Not sure if it was mentioned but the Oilers won the cup after Gretzky left….. just thought you should know

Buried Bedard and keeps racking up the points. Better get on the Bouchard rocket while you still have the chance, he’s about to take off into superstardom.
