Mark Roe

You think of how many teams he took to a Stanley Cup final, won a Stanley Cup, even the Islanders, who was early in his career at Nassau Coliseum.

You guys all have Nassau Coliseum stories, it seems like.

Yeah, exactly.

Well, speaking of great defense, Ben, Evan Bouchard is going to join us next after a great season with the Oilers as he now prepares to play for Team Canada World Hockey Championship.

His overdrive continues right after the break.

Overdrive continuing on TSN 4 and 5, the TSN app, your home speakers and live on YouTube.

Mark Rowan for Brian Hayes today alongside Jamie McLennan and Jason Stradwick.

Joining us now is a man who not only had 95 points to lead all defensemen in the NHL, he had 14 more points than the next defenseman.

It has been an incredible year for Evan Bouchard who now joins us on Overdrive.

Evan, appreciate you joining us today.

How you doing?

We're excellent.

It's great to be able to chat with you.

I know it would be your preference to still be playing in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but at what point, like how many days do you need to properly reflect on a year where at least individually you took your game to another level?

Well, it's great to have you as part of a Team Canada roster that I know hasn't officially been announced but has a ton of talent and looking forward to seeing you guys compete for a gold medal.

There was some news today when it came to individual awards and the finalists for the Norris Trophy have come up.

And a lot of the talk is just on how there are some great defensemen who weren't part of the finalists and just it was one of the deepest years for your position.

You unfortunately did not make the cut, but I just wonder,

how much was that on your on your mind and how much is that a goal of yours each year to be a part of the top three uh going for the norris trophy in your position for sure um yeah when i saw that come out it's definitely uh you know upset a little bit um but you can't really let that bother you you don't really think about it uh
