Player Discussion Evan Bouchard

So you think he played like a AHL d this year?

I never said he was an AHL D, I said at times he played like one.

And yes I think he had far too many games this season where his head wasn't in it and he played like an AHL defensemen.

I don't want to be debbie downer and I caught a lot of extended highlights because I couldn't watch the whole game, but was he as defensively horrible as he looked in the highlight package?

It was mostly Nurse actually. Nurse was directly at fault for the first goal. Didn't pressure on the 2nd goal, and was almost directly at fault for multiple other goals. Nurse was complete dog shit, one of the worst games I've ever seen him play truthfully.

I agree. Nurse was their least reliable defender by far.

Would Emberson fare better if given the same opportunity? I'm not so sure. But I do know that it's a big problem how many goals Nurse is on the ice (and directly responsible) for.

Something needs to give.

Nurse was extremely scrutinized for a bit - but hes still treated w/ kid gloves compared to how people talk/treat Bouch.
