I think he's played his way off of that roster. He's just supplanted by Makar and doesnt really have a role on any Team Canada roster, imo.
That's the narrative coming out of Toronto too. Like I give a f*** though, they wouldn't even give Bouch the credit he deserves having a Conn Smythe caliber run in the playoffs. The whole hockey world wants Bouch to fail. Won't happen though, too much talent there.
At least one of them was.Skinner was good
That first goal was just filthy. Looked like an elite forward on that play.
For a D like I said thats a goal you dream about. Even as a star D you score about one goal like that in the NHL. Incredible goal. Single best goal scored by an Oiler D since probably Coffey. I mean for artistic pts thats a 10 across the board. Boys gonna be having some fun tonight. Oh wait, its Ottawa....
95% of Defenceman in the NHL will never score a goal that nice.
Paul Coffey on the bench trying not to react. Heh, Coffey is so stoic. Kind of was as a player too. I would've been high fiving Booch. honest. What a f***ing goal. Goals like that, its the reason we watch. You see a goal like that and you won the lottery for entertainment.
Nice goal. He's had tons of looks. He made some decent defensive plays as well. Even in his doldrums he's usually worthwhile and we know he'll have better segments, he always heats up once a year at least.
Even Bouch barely cellied lol. McDrai's too cool for measly points attitude is rubbing off on the whole team. Not sure if it's great for the confidence of young players though, they should be ecstatic when they score a beauty like that.
You just gotta love that Booch went for it there. 90% of D would never even try to do that play. The 10% that do dream about making it. This could very well be the NHL goal of the year, especially considering Booch is a D in a classic end to end rush. Wow. That goal was worth the price of admission and I think even Sens fans gave it a clap. I would, I definitely would. You just tip your hat. Fans come to see McD and Drai come to town and work some miracles on ice and then Booch does that. No words. That ones a present under the tree.
Booch enjoyed it a lot in his own way. Could see that on the bench. It was a kind of Pinch me I'm dreaming reaction. f***ing love it. His look on the bench was hilarious. Love the guy.
I got all the time in the world for Bouch. Won't forget his playoffs like I never forgot Drai's stud first playoffs. You keep players like that and deal with the warts/growing pains in the doldrums of the Regular Season.
He's been screwed for 2 goals over the bar this year. Let's call it a Shut Out tonight.
