[PuckG]

Well you are definitely wrong or don't even understand the meaning of what a good

My opinion of Bouchard has never changed. In no universe is Bouchard a fundamentally good hockey player or has he ever been. He has some really good offensive skills and nothing else. Bad skating, lacks awareness of when he has time to make a play vs when urgency needed. Not physical or aggressive at all. He lacks lots of skills that make a good hockey player. Luckily for him he is really good at the few good skills he has.

Yes, he is good at fundamental offensive hockey skills like reading offensive plays, passing, shooting, and breaking the puck out. Thank you for confirming exactly what I said and contradicting yourself.

Fundamentals. Clearly, you do not understand those.

If he wasn’t, we could plug any fundamentally bad defenceman in his spot and have the same success.

The best pairing in the NHL only to analytics fools who don't know anything about hockey maybe.

It still counts whether you agree with it or not.

He still did what he did offensively, whether you agree with it or not.

Yes I said he was good offensively.

 

[PuckG]

Yes I said he was good offensively.

So what’s your argument?

He can’t be good offensively without fundamental hockey skills. End of discussion.

Is someone claiming he’s the best defensive defenceman in the league?

GG Ottawa.

 

[Coffey]

Gg Sens

Oilers need a Mack or Kuch to get some ENGS

He is one of the worst defensively skillwise in the league. If he couldn't score he wouldn't even make the ECHL

Oilers are inept with an empty net. Nice to go hot into Christmas. 11-2 last 13

 

[Czechboy]

Next 3 Oiler games could be against Czech goalies. Nice win. We are running hot

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Oil on a heater. Even looking half interested they pull it out. Too bad they fumbled that FLA game. would be so many wins in a row I lost count

Was literally coming to make this comment. I couldn't imagine how good they would be with a good goalie, d-men and forward depth.

 

[Cup or Bust]

Oilers were a bit sloppy early but clamped down and got the win. Great way to finish before the break.

Believe it or not, but the Oilers have allowed the least High danger chances in the NHL not too long ago. I don't know where they rank. For over 80% of games, they don't allow much on net.

D is not sexy looking, but they are doing their job

Oilers biggest weakness right now I would say is a tandem goalie. Then a #4 dman.

Forwards have trouble finishing, but Edmonton generates a shitload for the most part. Against every team.

This parroting about depth and D is always funny

ok? but he can score, so what are you saying?

if McDavid couldn't skate or score he'd be in the ECHL as well.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Zach, Money Bags/Spoonfed Hyman

5th player in Oilers history with multiple 6-game goal streaks, joining:

Wayne Gretzky
Jari Kurri
Glenn Anderson
Connor McDavid

The Oilers probably do need another guy in the top 6 that can be a bit more consistent putting the puck in the net. Hopefully if Arvidsson is healthy he will be that guy.

What they really need to do is sit down Jeff SKinner and tell him bye bye. Guy is too slow. He has been playing 4th line forever now. Just a zero need and bad aquisition. Scored some goals, but he really has issues with footspeed. If he had that, he would be really good.

Evander Kane is coming back. Who knows how he will look. He was the best Oilers player the first 15sh games last year by far and was not the same all year after. Multiple injuries. He is back March earliest. Hello cap circumvention. 5 million right there

Hopefully we pull a Vegas and go into the post season with a 100M dollar roster

Sorry @Three On Zero parking closed for the annual mod Christmas party. @Zirakzigil 's rules, not mine.

Jokes on both of you. There was no parking lot. Party was sponsored by Uber Eats
