49 Norris voters said in their ballot that Evan Bouchard was not a top 5 defensemen in the NHL this season.
49 people.
For reference, Bouchard had more points than Makar or Hughes have had in their entire careers, while being much better on the defensive end #LetsGoOilers
Full credit to @BlueJays baseball analyst Chris Leroux - so far, the only member of the #BlueJays TV and/or radio crews to actually have the guts to stop making excuses for Jeff Hoffman.
“Jeff Hoffman is not a closer,” he said on Sunday’s pregame show.
@Sportsnet@FAN590
It’s embarrassing seeing NHL media make excuses for Colorado collapsing
Edmonton had major injuries to their entire core, nobody excused it. People called Bouchard and McDavid chokers and said to blow it up
Avs superstars ghosted. Stop making excuses if you’re not consistent
@McjesusSaves@JustAnOilerFan@SjVani92 And the oiler were in Stanley cup final last 2 years, where were Avs. Sorry, but their cup was a vastly different team than they have now.
And definitely not saying oilers deserve a pass either, but if avs lose, and lose bad, they deserve heavy criticism.
@Ian_Canada01@mathewjdp Doubt it, they were talking about non one of the panels and the coach that was in as a guest said they take him in a heartbeat if he was available. He needs a change of scenery. His issues are strictly between the ears, not skill or ability
@AzorcanGlobal Maybe we just need to hire him a team of shrinks and teachers/coaches. Plus somehow get him that “Limitless” pill to get his smarts up to par.
@The_Gamingwithc@Baseball123Bats@Damon98_ I still think Little has a chance to be useful, because he doesn’t have the attitude issue Lauer has. But it’s gonna take him some time and coaching to fix his confidence
@Oilersopinions@TheLineBlender I’m ok with the dollar, but I’d prefer 2 years, no clauses whatsoever. If a 3rd year, dollar value for third year drops to 2.5
