VORHEES, N.J. — Craig Berube doesn’t strike you as the sentimental type. Nonetheless, Monday’s practice had to been a little strange for the Blues’ head coach.
The Philadelphia Flyers had a Presidents Day matinee game Monday against the Carolina Hurricanes, so the Wells Fargo Center wasn’t available to the Blues. Instead, they used the Flyers’ practice facility in South Jersey — a place where Berube spent hundreds, maybe thousands, of hours late in his career in the Flyers’ organization.
“I spent a lot of time here obviously over the years as a player and a coach,” Berube said, speaking of the facility in particular and Philadelphia in general. “It’s always great to come back here. It’s been a while since we’ve been back here obviously. But a lot of memories. And really got my start as a player and a coach here, in this city.”
