The Great Buchnevich with the most ice

[keithinwr]

TBH, I’m 100% more concerned about 81 right now than 89. Even at his worse Buch can play a 3rd line role. I don’t know what Holloway is currently, other than one of the worst 3 or 4 forwards on the team.

Na Holloway is starting to come around. You can see his past 2 have clearly been his best games

I agree. Willing to bet he is shaking the rust off from his injury so to speak.

Since '19-'20 Buch is 12th in the NHL in LW Points are we really saying Buch is the issue here?

Its not like this guys is a bad hockey player

Exactly. So much hand-wringing, crying and hyperbole. And speculation/day-dreaming of what moves posters wanted to be made — after the fact.

These threads will evaporate when Blues put up a winning streak.

Not a 200 ft guy doesn’t bang the corners. I think that about covers it. Anyone who doesn’t do that is trade bait in some eyes.

He reminds me of Hossa

Still zero goals at ES

1 game in his past 18 with one?

Lol

I don’t think I saw him make a decent play all game

[TruBlueFan_1970]

Hands down, the worst contract on the team.

Cool. Now run the stats post signing the contract extension.

then you're not watching the game

the dog piling here is incredible

[gpe13579]

I don't care what kind of all around game he plays, 1 even strength goal in 16 games simply is not getting the job done.

Goaltending is the biggest problem but that doesn't mean this isn't a significant issue also.

[ManitobaBlues]

I remember when the Rangers fans were so (upset) on Rangers dealing him, well I bet they think differently about it even though they really did not get anything in return.

On the contrary, I’ve been watching him a lot lately because of all the dog piling on him here and I just haven’t seen him play like I’ve seen him play in the past his passes hit guys in the skates. His shot is wide and he’s just not getting the job done.

Buchnevich has so many things working against him right now...he's snakebit as far as puck luck goes, the team around him is playing poorly, he's a complementary piece being asked to produce like a centerpiece, his demeanor/personality rubs people the wrong way (I don't know what the guy is like in real life, but he looks either bored or miserable on the ice), and he seems to have overtaken Kyrou as the player fans dislike the most. Until something changes, it seems like reducing his role would at least take the spotlight off of him.

[theograce]

One game in his past 19 he has an ES goal

4 games in his past 37 with an ES goal.

This is a 20 minute player many nights

It’s hilarious bad

listening to Rivers on the radio, Buch is actually a funny guy with a great and quirky sense of humor
