I'll put it another way. If Bouchard takes a shot off the foot and he goes down the tunnel for a part of a period to shake it off, does that mean the Oilers should call over the ref and forfeit? What is the difference? Teams will lose a player for short spurts all the time and somehow survive. I am sure the Oilers would survive if Bouchard missed a couple of shifts to maybe get his attention that he has to spot the crap he's doing.
But we apparently will never agree. I don't see how benching Bouchard for a couple of shifts to get his attention is going to cripple the team for an entire game. Good gawd.

Again, it's not the entire game. You're asking for a few shifts at a point in the game when there are only 5 shifts remaining when there are no other options. You're complaining about being dealt a 15 in blackjack and asking for a 14... at a time when the coach needs a win or he's going to get fired.
If Bouchard gets hurt, you play with what you've got. Same as when McDavid gets hurt. But its silly to think the Oilers should make themselves worse. That being said, they would have saved a lot of money by skipping the game last night and just mailing the Canucks two points.
|
Well that was about as fun as banging my head against a concrete wall and the results are what I expected.
So your conclusion is you only try to correct the player from doing the same thing over and over again that is costing your team dearly when the the situation is most convenient. If a convenient situation doesn't arise, you do nothing, just keep letting it happen. Great idea. I am sure it will magically sort itself out.
|
Shrug. That's the reality of the situation. The best option often is changing nothing. You're asking a coach that's about to be fired to bench his best offensive option at the time he needs offense. I don't know why you think benching a guy for 5 minutes will have a major impact in Bouchard's play, speaking of magic.
|
The point is to try something different. Maybe sitting him for 3 or 4 shifts isn't the answer but what they are doing now clearly isn't working because it's the same mistake over and over again season after season.
|
You act like Bouchard has never been benched.
Hopefully he makes a mistake in the first period against San Jose with the Oilers up 4-1 so Woodcroft can really drive the point home Thursday. I'm sure he'll be a brand new player when the next guy takes over Sunday morning.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
