I like how no one points out the mistakes that Bouchard made in his last game since he is a rookie and he's going through a learning experience...
This is a Dman who will be amazing NEXT SEASON. Accept it
I swear every time Bouchard plays, it's Koskinen in net.
The amount of times Mike Smith has saved Barrie or even Nurse's bottom this year is through the roof but nobody remembers because you tend to only remember the goals. Koskinen has let in some real stinkers when Bouchard is in the lineup. He's not mistake free, but we let Barrie get off scot-free for making just as many or more. Some would say "due to his offense" - well Bouchard's offense has been pretty great when he plays.
Last night, the Barrie whiff led to a 3on1 that Scheifele fired high. Nurse's ring-around the rink caused another 3v1 and a nice save by Smith. But we let it go. What about that Barrie pinch that led to an odd man break?
