Conversation starts a little tense and eventually sorted out - notable but normal stuff for a frustrated group.

McDavid “Everybody has more to bring so you start seeing some of that in practice. It’s gotta translate into games. It’s normal to have conversations with guys about different things we’re seeing out there. The game has felt at times unorganized and out of sync, so the only way to work that stuff out is to be talking and communicating with your teammates so you’re gonna start to see some of that”

I wonder how many McDavids Bouchard sees when he looks at him.

Conner realizing how stupid Bouchard is

The worst part is that Bouch doesn't have a clue why he's taking the heat. Thinks it's all good. His lazy plays, inept defensive play. NO FUCKING IDEA!

Mattias Ekholm seen here, translating McDavid's comments into Swedish for Evan Bouchard.

As usual, Bouchard has the deer in the headlights look about him! Maybe he should watch more game film and see how bad he is !?

Hopefully Connor was giving the Pylon shit for being so uninspired!!

Does anyone think Bouchard understood anything McD said? I hope he slowed down his “speak” so the message was clear..

Love how Ekholm is acting like 97s translator.

Connor needs to let the coaches coach and focus more on bringing the team together. Like Hitch to say, you gotta play for the guy beside you every night. All these guys on here with stats, analytics, line combos…. Build comradery and start playing for each other. Team game.

mcdavid being the one to tell everyone about defence is crazy to me lol tells you all you need to know

They need to have fun again playing hockey. Like they are carrying all the cup losses and forgot hockey is fun.

Why standing around? Bag skate them until they puke.

Finally SOMEBODY taking some accountability

bouchard "you mean I have to play in my own zone?????"

McDavid coaching Bouchard on how to play defense shows you that Bouchard does not know how to play defense. Got this far relying on his shot and is quickly realizing he needs more than that now

I guarantee you though that the day you bet against them they'll win.

McDavid is doing his job!But are the others doing their job?No!Maybe McD has to do that screaming gig in the dressing room to wake guys like Bouchard ,Ekholm up!

Need a new goalie, Ryan!! That will solve a major obstacle in these players performing! Sports is all psychological, 8 shots 3 goals in the first few minutes of the game! That’s deflating!! Oilers need a new starting goalie!!!

McDavid pissed because he had to take a pay cut because they paid that clown $5 million more than he’s worth per year

Mackinnon is 10x this in preseason camp. And that’s why he’s a champion.

McDavids wires and Evans Eyes 🤝 Crossed

Perhaps now the coach will hold #2 at the same accountability and not reward him with more ice time and power play time. Run Walman or Ekholm as your power play guy

That’s really good to see. Issues get sorted out in practice. They need to bring that emotion into games. Hearing your teammate telling you issues is better than a coach, especially one of the best telling you

Where is the new defensive coach? I think Paul Coffey is being missed more than anyone will admit or say. I haven’t heard anything about the new coach or how he is working with our defence. Coffey was very relationship based in his coaching.

That was deemed tense? If that is tense then no wonder they are soft as baby shit

The whole team should be pissed at Bouchard. He's been a pylon out there every game so far this season.

Gutless group would be a more accurate description. Say it how it is.

reading lips “I just left 16m on the table the next 2 years and I need you fuks to start hustling, my legacy relies on me getting my name on the cup”

Wow. Great post. Can’t hear a single thing.

@ryanwhitney6 oh nooo. Davo tired of Barcardi Bouch too @BizNasty2point0

He’s tired of losing and wants everyone to step it up

This happens every week probably, but in Canada it will be recorded and talked about unfortunately
