He plays like he thinks Peak-Hasek is behind him.
The Oilers' Big Boys blow the zone early, they dont backcheck and Bouchard is 'controller disconnected' the second he touches his own blueline and what? They're expecting Skinner to bail them out?
I know the 'this guy scored' meme is replete with examples, but their defensive zone coverage is abysmal, if anything its a miracle they dont get scored on more often.
