Though the 2018-19 St. Louis Blues season is turning for the better, their start to the year might be too disastrous to overcome. Clearly the on-ice play is the reason, but there have been enough rumblings of locker room turmoil for there not to be smoke and perhaps even fire.
The question that has to be asked now, as the team has found a little heartbeat, is whether Alex Pietrangelo is part of or maybe even the biggest problem. Things definitely are not in his favor at this moment.
The problem the Blues and their captain have right now is the leaks in the dam.
