The St. Louis Blues have had mixed luck with their head coaches in recent history. For every Ken Hitchcock, there is a Mike Yeo (no offense).
Coming in nicely in the middle is Craig Berube. Berube has the strictness of Hitchcock, putting up with no bull. He’s got more a sense of being on the players side, like Yeo.
The job Berube has done with this 2018-19 squad is quite amazing. Getting national recognition is secondary to all that, but it is nice if it comes along.
With that in mind, Berube has been named one of the three finalists for the Jack Adams Award.
