Can't dislike a dude like this. Even in the dog moments of a game where the team can't seem to generate anything, is getting hemmed in, and skating in molasses, Bouma is the guy finishing checks and keeping the intensity up.
Further, his durability leaves my mind emphatically bottled. I can't count the number of times that I've at least assumed he'd have to leave the game after some ridiculous incident along the boards, or a blocked shot...yet nope, there he is on the next shift.
If he had Backlund's body, he'd be atomized dust floating through space somewhere already.
