Buch shoots wide on a breakaway, then takes the penalty

[ZouMiz2424]

That extension is the worst move of Army’s career.

[HighStick]

Nope.... still Krug.

[a smell of green grass]

Pencil in the Kevin Hayes for me.

Not 1 minute of help from Hayes.

Not 1 minute of making sense.

Embarrassing evaluation of talent level and fit with team.

Haven't posted here in half a decade haha. Buch may be the most frustrating player I can remember playing for the Blues. Offense goes to die on his stick. One of my least favorite Blues.

[Mr.Snuggleupagus]

He's a clumsy player, makes bonehead decisions and is easily pushed off the puck by opposing defensemen.

Hey good to see you around again! And agree 100%

Thanks! Hope all is well with my old friends here. I recognize some handles still. Haven't felt the need to vent frustration about the Blues in a while (though there's been several moments since big 19), but I just had to get the Buch frustration off my chest!

My issue with Buch is he is the most immature hockey player I may have seen. The play is going on and he is throwing his arms up in despair or slamming his stick against the glass , because something didn’t go his way. Grow up!!! Why does everyone coddle him like he’s a despondent adolescent? His butt should be on the 3rd line starting at practice tomorrow and for at least the next 3 weeks or until he grows up. His antics are tiresome and childish.

Watching that game...I did not understand Monty having him start off the OT.

He had a bad game all around imo.

[MandatoryDenial]

Nope.... still Krug.

Yep Krug is definitely the worst contract. I would argue that Oshie is the worst move, that trade was brutal.

[blues2112]

Please understand that this is not suggesting he's better or worse than the other players listed. Just a little perspective:

Among Blues players with at least 100 career games, he's 12th in points per game, ahead of players such as Unger, Tank, The Thomas, ROR, Brian Sutter and Doug Weight.

Again, just some perspective after a Blues loss.

Correct.

[TheJackBurton]

That was one of the weakest OT penalty calls I have ever seen.

I am someone who says if it's a penalty in the first period it's a penalty in OT, but that wasn't a penalty in the first period so it shouldn't be a penalty in OT.

I wasn't sure until they showed the replay, starting with the attempt to start OT. Doughty makes as much contact with Buchnevich on the hand/stick that Buchnevich made with Kuzmenko. One is called a penalty. No call on the other.
