Craig Berube isn’t the loquacious life-of-the-news-conference that other coaches are, but the Blues’ coach was particularly to-the-point after his team’s loss Monday.
He quickly answered the six postgame questions, and in the final four he averaged just 7.25 words per answer. But the words he did say came through loud and clear. He’s mad. Mad at the loss, mad at the refs, maybe mad at a play that injured a key Blue and mad that the Blues’ tenacity didn’t earn them a point or two. And this anger is a good thing.
It shows the coach’s passion, it shows that he’s unsatisfied, it shows how much he wanted to win this seventh game against new-rival Arizona, even if Berube would not call it a “Game 7.”
