He is not a KID, He is a MAN. Think before you run your trap.
glad he addressed how the original statement was interpreted…..the best thing for kyrou to do is the shut up, and put up numbers expected from an $8M/year player
Not a St. Louis fan myself but gotta respect the passion of the Blues fans having the back of the coach that brought them their first Cup. I'm sure now that Kyrou has walked it back and shown a bit of passion himself the fans will get behind him and the team can move on.
Kyrou is a young man, not a kid. Has to learn certain lessons still. The fans expressed themselves and rightfully so. The guy is allowed to show the fans how it affected him and he showed that he cares which is good. Men should cry sometimes. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Time for him to get back to work and get this thing on track.
Im glad he clarified. He was just waking up from a nap, so maybe it was more of a question, like "He's not my coach anymore?????"
Kyrou is still a young guy, and a human being, give him a break. All that matters is the team gets the W and the players have each others backs.
The kid learned a tough lesson in "Loose lips sinks ships."
He crapped his bed and now cleaning it up and dealing with the embarrassment. Now play hard every shift 25. Most Blues fans will cheer you moving forward. A very good life lesson potentially learned.
Ignore the hate if the fans are blaming you are they even a real fan

If you aren't from St Louis, you don't have a sense for just what this means. This isn't new york where the crowd boos anything and everything. For a St Louis crowd to boo anything – much less a player on their own team- that person earned it. Jordan Kyrou, you need to either own it, or expect to get booed until some team is stupid enough to pick up your contract in trade. Surely there are other teams dumb enough to do that…
People in general and sports fans in particular can be so very harsh and mean. ✔️
Wishing you all the best, Jordan.
I don't like seeing him booed but there is something off with this current group beyond the poor roster construction. I know he says he loves playing here, but the whole team outside of a few vets feels like they don't really want to be here imo. Kryou to me plays like a guy waiting on something instead of chasing it. Nearly the whole team right now, it's like they want the game to come to them instead of bringing everything they can to the game. And he's the face of it because of his name and contract combined with under performing, that's part of what comes with the big extension.
I will say this though, all of us dogging his perceived lack of buy-in and effort probably wouldn't have shit to say if he was on pace for 40 goals right now. He just embodies everything wrong with this roster if/when he is not scoring.
Never play in Boston if you can't handle a little boos..what a cry baby.
Emotion is good. Who wants a robot playing. So many factors going on in these guys lives. Just keep playing hard, Kyrou!
Epic
Kyrou needs a change of scenery good playoff canadian contender
I feel bad for him on the one hand. I would think people who have sacrificed so much to be one of the lucky few to play a professional sport could be affected by boos. However, on the other hand, in professional sports fans think that because they pay a lot of money to see a game they have the right to voice their displeasure with the product on the ice. It could make for a very rough time if every time you get booed you get emotional. With all the social media bs as well, players need to have a thick skin.
I'm glad to see how human he is. At the same time, his game is not a lack of skill. There is something going on mentally this season, perhaps even emotionally, that is getting in the way of him reuniting with his skill level. I just hope this turning of the fans on him won't make it ever harder for him to get back to his game. He was offered the contract to score – and Army pointed out he is not performing to the level of the pay. That's a lot of pressure for a kid. There's enough comments out there to suggest Berube was brining out the worst in Kyrou this season – and maybe that was what Army was indirectly suggesting – though he's not typically vague. Thomas has blown up this season and Jordan appears checked out. The emotion is good – it means he is passionate about it. But if only he could go out there and "just have fun" again. Let all the emotion and mental pressure go and just have fun. Hopefully the new coach can get him there.
Trade him since the fans don't want him. He will be appreciated somewhere else. Best for every side
A guy that cares 🇨🇦🇺🇸about winning😁
Kryou wasn’t even on the team when blues won the Stanley cup though Thomas was and he got hurt by krug and came back eventually
Mabie it counted but he didn’t participate in the 4 goals perron was one and I think 3 others scored
I remember last season the Cardinals fans booed them .
Time to lace the skates up tighter #25
First Blues Coach got fired after taking them to the Stanley Cup Finals their first 3 years….said he couldn't get em there….Scotty Bowman….11 rings…same with Al Arbour….4 rings
I like the dude. But he’s gonna get chirped hard by opponents after this.
