The St. Louis Blues almost seemed to have Jake Allen earmarked as the starter as soon as they drafted him in 2008. He did not start playing NHL games until 2012-13, but you could tell the team was headed in that direction.
However, like WWE fans – that used to be WWF for those that don’t follow wrestling – many have held that fact against Allen ever since. Like John Cena or Roman Reigns, it has become the in thing for people to hate on him simply for the sake of doing it.
Allen may have reached the point that has eaten up so many Blues players in the past.
