Evan Bouchard heating up.

[Soundwave]

12 points in his last 8 games +4 as he's started to settle into the new coaches system.

Now on pace for 92 points on the season.

 

[Bizzare]

He also saved a goal in the third and had two points, but make sure you don’t mention that

That had not happened when I made my post. His two assists were both secondary assists and not difficult ones at that.

Didn’t see him save a goal, got a video?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Weird his stats start surging the same time mcdavids do. Edmonton is so lucky to have these two generational talents.

He’s been point per game or better all season long some of yall are so goddamn weird where the Oilers are concerned. Go to bed punching your pillows, I swear.

Weird that he was still producing while McDavid was slumping.

And yet he got them. I don’t see anyone else giving Hughes or Makar that treatment.

I don’t care enough to look, truthfully. Back half of the third on an Entwistle wraparound.

Nobody hates the Oilers. Quit being a victim.

People question their points all the time.

Cool I was watching multiple games so not going to find it either.

Welcome to NHL fandom?? I mean sign up date and post count suggest otherwise....but i dunno

[Coffey]

ECHLPA should have posted that.

Slow clap for sure... thank you for that one.lol

 

[andora]

He should be he's been getting burned for years

 

[jackjohnson]

Canucks shouldn't dress Hughes then.

Hughes plays defense with his eyes closed better than Bouchard.

 

[Czechboy]

I know he's a bum
Carried by McD
Can't skate backwards
PP merchant

The best part of the article is the 60 game splits before and after the Barrie trade.

Imagine playing over 20 minutes a game and being a .ppg Dman and people thinking you suck at your job! I can only assume Coffey would've also been shit on if he were in the NHL today.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Wonder how many points Hughes would put up feeding McDavid and Drai.

Do you mean how many points would Hughes get being fed by McD and Drai? Bouch is no passenger on that PP. His slapper is key for its success.

 

[McFlash97]

Less

Bouchard unequivocally has a better shot and better long bomb passes than Hughes. Bouchard is also a better powerplay defenseman too.

Current Hughes has him beat 5 on 5 though

Having a Makar/Hughes level PPQB would be unfair when you have McDavid creating so much open ice/lanes to the net

 

[Ninety7]

If you think Bouchard just rides on the coattails of Mcdavid and Draisaitl, you clearly just stat watch.

Makar and Hughes are not better PP quarterbacks than Bouchard though. Moot point.

 

[Three On Zero]

They are much better PPQBs than Bouchard

Bouchard biggest asset is his slap shot, Makar and Hughes can create chaos and open ice

 

[jackjohnson]

Yes they are, but obviously you are just biased in your assessment. Hughes and Makar have better vision than Bouchard. I ber if Myers played for the Oilers you would say he is better than Makar and Hughes lol.

Does bouchard even quarterback it?

Unfortunately oilers fans havent watched a true #1 elite defender play on their team so i dont blame them if they dont know what one looks like. Bouchard is like a better version of OEL in terms of offense

OEL is a strange comparison
