Sooooo how about Evan Bouchard's defense last night

[Rowlet]

You take the good with the bad with Bouchard. Hopefully he rifles a couple home tonight.

He did not

Evan "Norris" Bouchard has been on fire this month

Standing up straight with his stick parallel to the ice just like in every other video. Notice that he doesn't care about a potential rebound or rechecking where #49 is.

That said, Ekholm could have prevented that goal if he kept skating.

I watched Bouchard play in the OHL a few times and was always so let down with his lethargic play. Not much has changed.

It's also the team philosophy and what he's being coached...Oilers encourage this behavior systemically,

And EB is being considered for the Canada team. Hard to see why when he plays defensively so poorly.

He was bad again, tonight.

Guy clearly has some offensive gifts, and can play decent defense.

But man, is he ever present and responsible for some backbreakers at times. Like last year in the cup finals he gift wrapped us at least 2.

Like how Weegar was for us at times.
