Wow. Spector hammered Woody pretty hard about Bouchard and accountability that Woody keeps preaching. I was actually proud of Mark. Woody wanted to talk about how great Draisaitl back checked on it more than anything it appeared.

I’m not a fan of coaches crapping on players in the media. I know Spector likes that - as long as it’s one of his designated whipping boys, and because he’s already written his hatchet job article for the next day and is just looking for quotes to fill it out.
That’s no defence of Bouchard - the whole defence has been brutal lately. But Spector has decided on singling out one player and it’s the same type he always does. Nurse missed guys tonight. Ceci missed his guy on goals. Desharnais has been awful for several games. But Spector is writing an article about Bouchard so that’s who he goes after. Don’t expect him to ever say a word about Ekholm missing his guy (which he did for a goal against tonight) or about Desharnais getting torched for the millionth time. Screw that guy.
|
I felt he was singling out the coach that keeps talking about accountability, but never backing it up. Most Edmonton media is too chicken bleep to task a coach like that.
|
Spector is only asking because Bouch is his current target as a scapegoat, so kills a lot of the weight of his question, as if he actually cares about accountability across the team or anywhere else in the org. He's just trying to throw Woodcroft's words back at him to try to get some bad things said about Bouch.
Bouch is literally our only RHD that can make a pass. And by a good margin the best puck mover on this team. And his ice time has actually been ramping up this year, he's been playing more than Nurse lately, and he's not exactly a seasoned vet. He'll never be great defensively, but he'll always be useful to push play offensively and on the PP. Ideally he is playing less, but this D group is not that good. Ceci makes the same brain farts with zero silver linings. Desharnais did everything he could in this game to completely tank it. Own goal right away after our 1st, and instant penalty to kill momentum from our 2nd goal. He was completely lost defending on the 2nd Canucks goal too.
Like it or not, we are depending on Bouch a heck of a lot now, and there will be lots of growing pains with the responsiblity. Especially with Ekholm off his game too.
