Everything is tied to St. Louis these past 36 hours.

St. Louis Resigns Toro, Bortuzzo, Brown, and Berube

St. Louisan Pat Maroon signs with TBL

St. Louis named coach of MTL

Berube will pass Bowman, Demers and Murray for fourth in games coached in early April.

With 20 more wins he will tie Sutter for third.

‍meh. I guess. I would love to see add offensive minded d-coach in our coaching staff.

 

[BlueDream]

I love it. I think continuity is important and he hasn’t shown any signs of losing the room. He wins games and I like him a lot.

"I've enjoyed working with (General Manager) Doug Armstrong and (Chairman) Tom Stillman, working with the coaching staff and training staff and all the players we have here," Berube said. "Why would I want to go anywhere else? I love it here."

when people want to stay here, they choose to stay. just like when people value other things more, like MONEY perhaps, they leave.

What happens if/when the Blues get humiliated yet again in the playoffs? I’d actually have considered firing him before the playoffs and hoping for a coaching change boost to carry them on a post-season run.

Well I’m not sure how we can blame the last 2 postseasons on him.

1. We outplayed Vancouver in the bubble but didn’t get the goaltending.

2. We were way outclassed by Colorado and were missing some players too. No coach had a chance there.

So we’ll see what happens. But as far as I’m concerned, even if we do get embarrassed again, I don’t really think Berube has any strikes against him so he deserves more time.

Fair point. Personally I dont like Berube nor his system.

1. No we didn’t. Vancouver were the better team overall. 2. True. Not good enough to beat the Avs.

Nope. Markstrom/Demko way outplayed Binnington, that was the difference. Vancouver wasn’t better, we outshot and outchanced them by a wide margin every game. Wasn’t that close.

We dominated Vancouver. Their goalie was great

Hail to the Chief!

Love this guy

 

[Robb_K]

Berube is a good coach. Their problem is that hey need more higher-level talent on the defensive top 2 pairings. Coaching and systems are not the problem. Acquire a #2 for the top pairing (trading off one of the excess forwards, a current blues-owned prospect and a draft choice), and the move-down of the current #2 will help the 2nd pairing improve. Problem solved.

There were a few key moments in that series that could have swung it in our favor, but we couldn't cash in. I've never thought for a second that coaching was to blame.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

I like Chief.

Glad to have him.

 

[TheDizee]

the blues dominated vancouver in that series. they lost that series because of goaltending and a 6 or 7 month break due to a stupid pandemic. binner hasnt been the same goalie consistently since the covid break of 2020. the canucks wouldnt have even made the playoffs if not for a expanded playoffs and a pause to the season, they were totally bombing in the standings right before the pause happened.

we havent had a legit NHL season since the cup run so im not gonna blame berube for 2 "playoffs" where it was a joke season anyways. lets see what happens this year.

Starts in 4 hours

Yahoo. Berube will get the most out of the players he's given.

Up to Armstrong to keep building on the fly.

We're not winning anything this year but the team is competitive and will get better next year. Key is as always the goaltending.
