Player Discussion Evan Bouchard

[TheNumber4]

You're right. Let's go get that cup.

All good, we all have our opinions about players. But for now, let’s go Oilers!

Low hockey IQ

Someone is still waiting for him to fail against the stars.

Might legitimately be in the running for the Conn Smythe

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Bouchard is simply amazing these playoffs, he's a #1 Defenseman, no doubt

 

[bobbythebrain]

"He's so smart, one of the smartest hockey players I ever played with"-McDavid

"“He’s one of the smartest hockey players I’ve seen in this league"-Draisaitl

"He has no hockey IQ"- anonymous....well, not so anonymous

 

[Giggleplex]

It's clear to anyone who actually plays or knows hockey that this guy has incredibly high hockey IQ

Wicked pass to McDavid for the game winner. Let's see if he can keep it up.

 

[syz]

Nobody could see that pass on the GWG coming.

No I mean literally I couldn't see it, Stars fans please just sit the f*** down already.

I sees what you did. lol

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Are we still waiting to see how he does against the Stars?

in 92 minutes at 5on5 against the stars.

He has been on the ice for 8gf/2ga

 

[Coffey]

PLUS FIFTEEN

Bouchard is an absolute unit.

How can anyone hate this guy?

 

[Oilking83]

I sure hope they don’t look to give this guy 10M. Yikes would live to regret it for a long time

I was wrong. I’m sorry . The Bouch looks so poised out there and better in his own end.

 

[Leafshater67]

According to my coworker, he’s horrible. He’s “just another Erik Karlsson!”. Haha…

 

[Fishy McScales]

According to my coworker, he’s horrible. He’s “just another Erik Karlsson!”. Haha…

Haha, even if that's true that's a compliment. Karlsson has had a fantastic career.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He's an outstanding hockey player, just brilliant to watch

 

[Gordian Knot]

The guy behind the defenders bench has had one better season playoff points wise than Bouchard is having now. Let that sink in.

And he is two points behind records of legends like Bourque and Potvin, rocking +15 in Western Conference.

And he is one behind Coffey record in game winning goals per one season playoffs, two behind Oilers all time record (Pisani & Kurri 5 GWG).

If that is not #1D material for you, I don't f***ing know what then is.

Go Bouch!

 

[Leafshater67]

Haha, even if that's true that's a compliment. Karlsson has had a fantastic career.

Hahaha yup but any defenceman who has more than 30 points in a season sucks. It’s totally impossible to play D and score a few points too don’t you know?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Weird how someone quit posting in this thread and instead posts about him on the mains to get validation

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Can I describe one "nothing" play that blew my mind about Bouchard poise and patience?

On the PP, McDavid passed him the puck, Bouchard is alone at the top of the circle on the left side, the puck hops his stick, hits his skate, he smoothly and effortlessly backs off slightly, maintains controls and continues moving the puck.

Just like a think I've seen eat up 1000s of NHL players, he treats it like it's nothing. This is a hell of player guys.

 

[Giggleplex]

Guess who's on top again?
