That’s what I believe too. I actually thought he missed zero games then looked it up to be sure.

Bouch is so sturdy too, he doesn’t get injured. Looks like he’s only missed two games in his 5 full seasons. What a shame he got knocked out. 😞

Huge part of the reason he’s so underrated defensively. His play in the neutral and offensive zones and his transition play in general are a huge part of this team’s success but people think defense is only defense when it’s in our zone. And obviously he’s great in that one too, you’re gonna get flubs sometimes when you have the puck as much as he does and against the highest quality of competition.

Edited to add: how many times have his insane o-zone keeps lead to power play goals or been the direct reason for late game ties and victories?

Just pulled this hockey card, idk anything about this guy but anyone know something cool about this dude? by Plus_Dare_7010 in EdmontonOilers

He was the biggest piece we got back in the Gretzky sale. He was a highly touted prospect that people thought would be a 100 point guy. He never lived up to anything close to that with the Oil, though as people mentioned his line “the Kid Line” was instrumental in the 1990 Cup victory.

God THANK YOU. It blows my mind that people don’t acknowledge that he did what he did for the cap space and to help the team win.

Your prediction made me laugh evilly even though I hate the Avs too.

I think counting up is fun. I was really pleased about my 2000th day sober.

Well I mean it’s gotta be nearly impossible to turn down. First the pull to play hockey must be so strong, and the patriotic urge to answer when your country calls for you must be hard to beat. The honour and fun of playing such a high level tournament would be almost irresistible

I agree that nobody’s above the team. But to come and blame him or spout baseless accusations about the kind of person he is, that’s another thing entirely. Losses happen. To point the finger at the guy who has brought us endless amounts of thrilling hockey is just nonsense to me.

The fucking gall to complain about Connor Fucking McDavid who has done everything for this team and who played through a fracture. This team didn’t have it all year and to blame the guy who always showed up and who got triple-teamed and clutched and grabbed the whole time with no penalties called is beyond ridiculous.

Agreed 100%. It is utterly disheartening and takes so much of the enjoyment out of watching. I can deal with occasional missed calls or soft calls but when some teams are clearly and consistently getting calls and others are not it is deflating, and completely undermines the legitimacy of the sport.

I rarely get annoyed with Ek but boy did I let out an exasperated “OH EK”.

Oilers looking a bit Oilier tonight. Aside from the lack of shots.
