Brace yourself from the Reckless Era of Blues hockey.
The first takeaway from Tuesday afternoon's repackaging of Ken Hitchcock was this: Blues goaltenders better be ready to make some saves early on next season.
General manager Doug Armstrong wants to see new energy in the lineup. Hitchcock agreed that the Blues should step up and look to create counter-attack rushes.
So for a while, anyway, the goaltenders will see some 2-on-1 rushes and clean breakaways coming there way. "Skilled and careful" will be out and reckless will be in.
Presumably those goaltenders will be Jake Allen and Brian Elliott, but you never know as this franchise heads toward another summer of change.
