That said I would agree with the missed call that led to the goal. Refs blew that one and are in fine playoff form and it's only September!

Would you swap him for Valimaki? I sure as hell would not.
Bouchard was fine—one of the best of the Oilers last night along with McLeod and probably Benson. At one point Booster Bob said he looked like he was playing the game in an easy-chair. But here’s the thing: that will NEVER fly at the NHL level. He’s got really good vision, but his poor skating and passive zone play is going to cripple him against NHL players.
I think it’s hilarious that he is the best Oilers prospect since Connor McDavid. Edmonton is no good.
