Mattias talks about what he thought went wrong in the Oilers loss to Vegas

Can someone ask Eks how hard it is to be a one man defensive pair for most of the game?
What are you teaching Bouchard, why everytime is not skating back where is his head at, like when will he care enough to realize danger. Bouchard is like a child doesn't realize danger every game is the same thing, all he as is the shot but is that enough and come summer you want a big raise like really.
Bouchard is becoming the new nurse……
Bouchard needs to be press boxed for a game. Plain and simple. Unnacceptable effort and defensive reads. The guy is clueless in his own end.
That penalty that Nuge took was the game changer. He should have been benched. If Pasta can get benched and Konecny get benched Nuge should have been benched for that ridiculous play
Bouchard best defensive player in the world
Eks looks old out there. Hey Stu Bowman we need emergency defenseman
Bouchard needs to be traded. No way is he worth $10 million. His defensive mistakes are glaring
Where are the Bouch Bombs? Looks like now the bombs are coming in their own net…Bouch sucks defensively…feel bad for Ekky who had to carry two d men jobs on his own…
You’re the best defense man. I wanna watch more of you until you can.
Someone else needs to speakup about Bouchard on any broadcast. Sure he's good on the PP but he still messes up some passes during the PP. But his defence is atrocious at the best of times and his lack of hockey IQ has been evident on these two plays. Unless you watch him regularly, these mistakes, giveaways and only making 40% of his passes out of the zone is really going to kill us. Maybe the only saving grace here is that there is NO WAY he can command a salary of over $9M. He's way too slow and afraid to get into the mix along the boards on a dump in. What can't the coaches see that he can't be part of the #1 D core with these mistakes. There has NEVER been any consequences for his brain farts. They should be moving him to 2nd or even 3rd pairing D and just use him on the PP. It's not fair to Ekholm to have his stats being dragged down because of a lazy D man who can't play D. Have a look at his facial expressions after he gives up goal after goal after goal. It's that dumbfounded look like "Oh they scored on us again so just get to the bench and sit and think about it." Watch McDavid dive on that empty net goal by Vegas and he slams his stick into the post……….that's emotion and being pissed off. I think we need McDavid and/or Drais to tear a strip off of him for these stupid mistakes.
Crazy how they have Ek on the mic answering for Bouches mistakes.
Mattias you guys played a great game. We didn't have the puck go our way. Keep up the good work
