Dean Schmidt

Older than my kids, younger than my parents, almost as cool as my friends, not even in the same league as my wife. Disappointed Oilers fan.

@SpuddyMcKenzie … and yet somehow, some way Lowe still is spoken about like he was actually competent… and he still gets air time. Katz has been pulling the same shit for years. Define incredibly upset. Laughably bad management for years now.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@NewWorldOilers So when Bouchard gives the puck away and quits on the play when he stops skating? So he will be held accountable for his soft as baby poop compete level? I welcome it. Finally.

@NBCSSharks What was Crosby doing at the beginning of this clip. 😂

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@MikeGal44340608 @OilersNation Agree.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@Puttfortriple @NiParent @Joe_McCoy12 Shankalot is a knob.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@TopTierPucks Absolutely no one does more pylon impressions than Bouchard. No one quits on plays more than Bouchard.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@IGWT741776 @JoJoFromJerz Is it possible the reason he fell asleep was because Hegseth was speaking?

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@dstaples I’m just surprised he was along the boards going after a puck. He doesn’t usually do that.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@dstaples @edmontonjournal Hmm. Great guy. Sad if this is true. Defensively they are not a team that can win at the moment. The player Personnel relative to the teams who will have a long run this year is much better than the oilers.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@yoke_and_puck None. Bouchard would still be playing ( giving the puck away and not trying to get it back) in front of him.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@MakarTruther98 No doubt. Quite sad how many people actually think this guy is a D man. But his analytics…. Watch the game instead.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@KevinMcCurdy @Shark7724 Respectfully no his gaffes are fairly frequent. He is a very good player. He is irreplicable (irreplaceable) 😀 at this point because he is very good offensively and his first pass out of the zone is good and that is rare. He looks lazy when he quits on plays

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@KevinMcCurdy @Shark7724 Kevin, metrics are one thing. Watching the games tells a completely different story. He is bad at D. He quits on plays often and doesn’t go into the corner often. He is soft. As baby poop. You and #2 related? What does he have on you?

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@SpuddyMcKenzie Yeah. And after his 9 giveaways the goalie and D for Canada better be stellar. Great passes … but dreadful defensively. Always.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@ThomasDrance Lots of points for Bouchard. Zero clue how to defend. Horrible compete level. Being left off is indeed the way.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@goalietap What we are doing is saying soft players, giveaway machines who don’t play on the defensive side of the puck should never win the Norris. Bouchard isn’t even the best D on the oilers.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@StevenBaldus @MarcoFoster_ @jamestalarico @TeamTalaricoHQ And stop ordering shit from Amazon. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@jimmathesonnhl Bouchard had a lot of assists on MacKinnon goals as well.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@bonejrp @Avry 15 guys could be allowed on the ballot. It would not matter. The guy with the most points wins an award. The guy who is inept defensively is Evan.

[Dean Schmidt @DeanSchmidt10]

@bonejrp @Avry Again, I agree with most of your takes. Telling me Bouchard is good defensively (even if the others aren’t great) is a judgment error. I’m an oilers fan. The media here (and roughly 15% of the fans) have a very myopic view when it comes to # 2. Polarizing.
