McDavid goes super-nova.. Oil gets a point.
Without 97 this team is bottom of the NHL.
So many waste asses on that team.. nothing was going from the forwards except the chances generated by 97, 29, 18, 93 .. plus 92 !
I think Mangiapane could actually be replaced by Hutson right now.. Mangi is such weak sauce.. Hutson's defense can't be any worse.. and his offensive potential much higher.. Mangi doesn't PK so no loss there.. side note.. whoever scouted Mangiapane last year needs their scouting credibility by Oiler management reduced back to square-one.
The reason's Bouchard is not being considered for Team Canada are the same one's that will handicap Oilers chances at a Cup. They need him to get those mental blackouts out of his game.. Stanley Cup comes down to one break here or there during a game.. can't be handing them out free of charge routinely. How do you stop those blackouts.. hypnosis? (kidding not kidding)
and Fred? .. still playing like a league average (or below) 4th liner.. that pro-scout also needs to have their credibility downgraded. If Kapanen is ever resuscitated, Fred sits.

There are probably 15 things I worry about keeping us from winning a cup before I get to Bouch.
He is one of the top 3 reasons we made the finals the last 2 years.

I'm not saying Bouchard is "the" thing.. but those mental blackouts are one of them.. he has lots of company for sure. 19 player roster - (97,29,93,18,92) = 14
so pretty close to 15 :)

Bouchard is one of "the" things that had the team so close to a cup recently. No one pretends he doesnt make some mistakes. To pretend he isn't one of the main reasons for success is ridiculous. I now some here have decided he should be exiled but after a slow start he is far and away our best overall defenceman this year and likely one of the top 3-4 best players on the team.
