Surely, one game couldn’t change my opinion about the Blues, right?
I entered Monday’s game with the mindset that a “buy” mentality at the trade deadline could jolt the Blues. And maybe it still can.
But Monday’s performance by the St. Louis Blues was disgusting and embarrassing. Like, season-defining disgusting and embarrassing. The team hadn’t won in a while — it has lost seven games in a row — but came home with some optimism. Colton Parayko returned to the lineup. Goalie Ville Husso played so well in the previous game that coach Craig Berube gave him the start over Jordan Binnington. While that was a risky move, it showed a dedication to winning right now — going with the hot hand.
