Forcing a pass to Neighbours who isn't wasn't looking ends with a goal against.

Ok here's a question, why the f*** is Pejorative Slur censored but moron is not? Pejorative Slur is a legit word that has definitions that can be used where as moron was a word made up entirely to shit on Pejorative Slurs and has no other meanings or uses.

 

[Robb_K]

We knew that was going to happen.

What happened on that chance for Buch from the slot? Did he just heel it? God he’s been frustrating this year.

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Two points we could have would have should have had ….instead we shoot ourselves in the foot trying to dance a jig.

With time and space to make a play or just skate it to the red line and dump it in!!!

Fowler had multiple better options available than the one he took.

 

[Stlblue50]

It’s worth noting that Columbus is now 15-5 at home! They are clearly good there and lead the league in goals scored at home with 4 per game

 

[Robb_K]

At least they made it close. Can't win 3 in a row. Well, we'll get a top 12-or 13 draft choice.

Then to top it off Fowler backs off of Oliver. He would have most likely deflected/blocked the shot or at very least made it a lot harder to score than being a pylon cone inside your blue line

They are also like 2 points behind us in the standings and 4th in their division. Definitely not the worst team to lose to. Still not very happy with the loss tho. The first 40 minutes was putrid.

Ya, CBJ is now tied for a playoff spot. This isn’t as bad a loss as it seems. Though a bit annoying that this is the 7th time we’ve had a chance to run a 3-game win streak. At some point we’re gonna need to go on a run in January with this soft schedule.

Maybe a better question is why you feel the need to use that word in the first place.

Right or technical winning 2 of every 3 should get us in lol

Fowler with another Goal and Assist
Kyrou with a Goal and Assist with 5 Shots
Schenn with a Goal and Assist
Holloway with Two Assists with 4 shots
Parayko with a Bomb
Buch with his random cloak of invisibility act with a random nice primary assist.

If it wasn't for complete and utter shit defense and Hofer unable to make a save it has all of the ingredients for a win.

 

[PJJJP]

We had a chance to win that game. At least we are fightning back, unlike earlier in the season where we would roll over and die

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

I am glad we pushed back in the The third but the team defense and Hofer were just Infuriating.

The meaning of Pejorative Slur is to delay or impede the development or progress of : to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment.

Sounds like a word that was almost designed to be used for hockey.

Also, what if I want to talk about something being fire Pejorative Slurant ?

Like I said, it's a real word that has real uses in every day life but Moron does not and is perfectly fine.

 

[BlueSeal]

Nelly likes bowling used to bowl in a league with him maybe like Snopp he likes Hockey?

He seems to love anything St.Louis, was the first guy I saw on tv rocking the Note who didn't play for the Blues. I saw that and went nuts. Pic is a screenshot of a video from his first album. Single-handedly put St. Louis on the hip hop map.

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Don't mind some losses sprinkled in. Still need a top 15 pick, top 12 would be nice.

A lot more fun to watch this season, especially under Monty. We're scoring.

 

[joe galiba]

I will take the blame on this one, I wasn’t wearing my new Blues hoodie that is undefeated, I was wearing my Ken Anderson Bengals jersey as that game was more important

[BadgersandBlues]

I'm less frustrated at this game then I am from the San Jose one. Columbus, like SJ, is a bad team, with a terrible D core outside Werenski. This means they have to play that balls-out full-press style of hockey we already know our team struggles with due to our D-core and it's lack of ability to outlet during a strong forecheck. It's why the Jackets are so hot and cold home v. away, the crowd oohs and aaahs at home and that helps them keep their foot on the gas. During this game we showed way more poise against the press then we did against San Jose, holding onto pucks and panicking far less. We generated at least 5 extremely high danger chances that Merzlikiens somehow came up with. Had we buried at least one of those before the Jacket's first goal, this game changes dramatically, as all of a sudden teams aren't so keen to be all-gas-no-brakes once stung.

One last observation - Our goaltending duo, after putting up a top 3-5 effort last year, has fallen way off a cliff. Binner is sitting around +3.5-5.5 GSAx depending on if you prefer Moneypuck or Evolving-Hockey, whereas Hofer is at -5-6.5. Basically we've gotten almost zero help from our goalie tandem this year. They aren't sinking us, but they aren't bouying us either. I'm really hoping Hofer can have a better second half, b/c he's been having a tough season so far.

 

[Stlblue50]

Yes our goaltending has absolutely been an issue this season. We would be in a playoff spot with average goaltending but we haven’t had that.

Binner has been very solid in 3 out of his past 4 games where he hasn’t faced many chances in any of the 4. Hofer was trending in the right direction but has laid 2 big eggs in his last 2 starts (4 and 5 goals against).
