This is the ugly side of business. Armstrong needed a fall guy for his shitty decisions and the teams lack of effort. Fans know Berube was the least of the teams problems and will always be a legend in STL.
It was decided when they gave up 4 goals in one period against vegas. Just a waiting for the right time to do it. Last night was. They should have won that game. They should have won at least 5 or 6 losses. The problem has been Craig. He lost the team. There obviously hasn't been any fire or discipline. I hope the next coach implements pain and and punishment for not back and forechecking. For not following through with hits. For not shooting the freaking puck at every opportunity during a pp. They're not a bad team but was being coached poorly. There is your answer. Best wishes to Craig. He is awesome and will get hired next year by another team.
I like Army but this is on him he brought in players that didnt fit Craigs system, i remember when they fell in love with K. Faulk the could only play the right side and they chose to give him the money over Alex Pietrangelo i knew this was a bad deal
Dayummmmmm. Yesterday you guys mentioned the possibility and shot it down. Crazy world. After winning the Cup, the dismantling of everything Blues continues. Sigh.
i had a feeling if we lost our 4th in a row against the Wings that they would fire Berube even though i put zero blame on him. All the blame should be put on the shoulders of Armstrong for how he constructed the roster and the contracts he handed out to some of these players.
This is an outrage, the Blues will never learn. No matter how you slice it, Craig Berube was the scapegoat for the mess Doug Armstrong has put us in the last three years. Terrible contracts and roster management stemming from not re-signing Pietrangelo. When do the Blues and ownership have enough of Armstrong the architect of this group? There lays your problem.
Is there a potential this team gets worse because they start blaming each other for berubes firing? Whos to say the players dont get pissed at army and dont give any more effort then they already are to spite Army?

Bad move by Army!! Kyrou seems like the cancer in the locker room! I'll be looking intensely at how they come out playing tomorrow night!

The GMs in this town are clueless

Swapping Kyrou, for a young Top line Defenseman, would go a lot farther in solving the Blues problems than firing Chief
First Ohtani defers $680 million and now Berube is fired, I'm emotionally spent haha
