There’s a scene near the midway part of Martin Scorsese’s Color of Money where Vince (Tom Cruise) heads to a pool hall without his mentor, “Fast Eddie” Felson. He sits to the side and waits for a guy to finish his game. That guy comes over to Vince, sees the case resting on his lap, and kindly asks: “what’s in the box?” Vince’s reply is simple and blunt: “doom.”
The St. Louis Blues need a little doom on their team if they want to taste Stanley Cup glory anytime soon, or during Vladimir Tarasenko’s prime.
I’ll admit it wasn’t easy to watch the Washington Capitals, including Ex-Blue T.
