He finally looks like his shoulder is back to 100%. It hasn’t even been a full year since his surgery so there’s no doubt in my mind that was playing a bit role.
Tarasenko said he really liked Yeo when we switched from Hitch, but it does appear that Berube allows for a more open offense approach - which I’m sure Vlad likes. We’ve been seeing some zone entry and passing off the rush that we previously never saw; lots of driving to the net and drawing defenders. I also agree about simplifying the game plan. It makes it easier for players like Tarasenko to insert creativity and not have the whole system collapse.
I don’t think Berube is the right guy moving forward in so as much that he isn’t as much of the wrong guy that both Yeo and Hitch were.
I want to either find the next Cooper or hire an established coach like Quennville, but short of that I’m fine with Berube. Tampa’s AHL coach would be foremost on my radar.
Groulx (or however you spell his name) is definitely at the top of my list. But Berube has definitely at least thrust his name into the conversation as an option.Tarasenko said he really liked Yeo when we switched from Hitch, but it does appear that Berube allows for a more open offense approach - which I’m sure Vlad likes.

The Blues also look more creative offensively than I've seen them in a long time (at even strength). He's really impressing.I'm running out of reasons to say no to Craig Berube.
PP sucks. I’m gonna keep saying it until something is done. They are going to need it if we want to do damage in the playoffs.I'm running out of reasons to say no to Craig Berube.

One example. Awesome.Not really, either the kings or boston won the cup with the worst power play in the post season.. 5v5 ins where you win in the spring
He saw some of you guys say he's not a game changer and took offense to that
If Berube takes The Blues deep through The Playoffs, he'd have to be considered seriously. It would make his case stronger if he could improve both the power play and penalty kill within the next month. But, if they don't improve significantly, I might consider hiring Berube as HC next season, anyway, and consider hiring different assistants to handle the special units. But, I'd also keep Coach Q in my sights.We'll see how the season ends but at this point I really don't see the Blues hiring an AHL coach. With how well Berube has done, I think Armstrong only replaces him with a guy he knows is for sure an upgrade. Hard to see him going with an unproven guy, because if they flop then Armstrong looks real bad and will have to find yet another coach.
