Knobs should bench him.
Not pissing around in 25/26

That's the kind of move that leads to a coach being fired. The mistake was awful but benching him is a terrible idea and would likely have terrible on ice results.
- How long does Bouchard sit for? A period? The game? Until another defenceman makes a bech worthy error?
- If you bench one of your best players, do you do it every time someone make an error? Only if it leads to a goal? Only if it's Bouchard? You draw a line in the sand this early and dont follow through or remain consistent you lose the room in a hurry.
- For anyone not wearing 97 or 29, you start to play with fear. Playing scared to make a mistake is never a good thing.
This doesn't even take into account the ripple effect of moving every player up a notch on the blue line. All of the people who want Nurse sent to the moon would love that I am sure...
Bouchard is what he is, he will makes some mistakes, often trying things that most players don't even think of. Those same efforts will often lead to scoring chances for. He will also be one of the top d-men in the league for helping his team win.

Agree to disagree. This isn’t a playoff race at the moment. Yes, all teams have 2 sets of rules, but it’s very abundantly obvious on this team far too often.
