A couple of answers to that question. I get what you're saying.
If it was a small sample size, I wouldn't be as concerned about it. It's the consistency of the play and the body language that he's showing right now that worries the hell out of me about the playoffs. I don't think that the playoffs version of Bouch is so much about him as it is about Ekholm ramping up his play to an extreme level and demanding more from Evan. I would be so frustrated if I was Bouchard's playing partner, trying to guide him and help shape him, only to watch him continually blow it. Ekholm is going to tune him out at some point and I think it's already happened; we should be seeing the growth in Bouchard's game by now and Ek is evidently not breaking his back to save him like he did before. He's expecting more from him.
The second answer is that the Oilers are going for the divisional and conference lead right now, to help control their fate as much as they can. Incredibly, they can win these games without exerting themselves... so if they AREN'T exerting themselves, how is it even possible that he's making these mistakes? Use your brain more and your body less, Evan! Most of the Sabres Grade A, 10 bell chances came off of Bouchard gaffes or bad defensive reads. If they want that div and conf lead, they need to play smart hockey, not Bouchard hockey.
