Bouchard is just bad at defense. Makes a terrible read at the blueline. Could either pinch to try and keep puck in the zone, or fall back to cover the breakout Panthers player (Marchand). He stands there flat-footed like a doofus making himself totally useless. Then he stops skating one stride into his own zone and coasts to the net while his team gets scored on.
