How important was Bouchard for the Oilers in this series?
Спорт
TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug and TSN Canucks reporter Farhan Lalji join SC with Jay Onrait to discuss who the key players in the series were, how Brock Boeser's absence was felt in Game 7 for the Canucks, how important special teams were in the series, and if Quinn Hughes is at all to blame for Vancouver losing this series.

The only non-Canadians in the Oilers' regular lineup are Draisaitl, Janmark, and Ekholm. Derek Ryan usually plays but is sometimes a HS. The rest of the team are all Canadian.

ever since coffey came , all our defenceman seemed to level up. Nice to watch.
As a Vancouverite, best of luck and success to the Oilers. Go and win the Stanley cup.

I know right, Canuck fans are trying to say the Demko's absence was the reason, but I don't think he would have outplayed Silovs in that series. He was 100% their best player.

being an undersized dman is tough, he got hit every time he touched the puck and was bullied off his game
McDavid is making all these players a LOT better. He completely mesmerizes every opposing player, and his set-ups are simply incredible. MVP.

@@hemanownsyou Ah, good to see you're being as classy as ever. The only reasons that series was as close as it was because Silovs played really great, robbing a bunch of sure goals when the Oilers were dominating play, and the bug that was goign through the Oilers locker room, clearly making the Oilers play sick, which even still, the Oilers were the better team for the majority of the periods.

@@Marixa1979 Really, you are making excuses for the games your garbage team lost? If your team can "dominate" and still almost lose a series proves the soilers are trash.
I strongly disagree that Hughes deserves any blame. First he doesn't get deployed with the top linemates relative to Bouchard and also even if he does they are not mcdavid or draisaitl. Also when you say he was facing bottom 6 fwds, he's not a forward, he's a puck moving, play driving, play making d men, he't not a goal scorer. This team has severe lack of finishing and you illustrated that in your highlights.
Bouchard remind me of Pronger from 2006.

Keep both in their LD strong side positions. Statistically zone exits with puck control (none dump outs) are much better left shot LD, right shot RD. I think it's time for the Oilers to try and move Nurse out. Hopefully he's decent for the rest of the playoffs making it easier. They'll have to retain salary on him either way though.
