Long ago, St. Louis Blues fans learned a phrase that basically amounts to “In Craig Berube we trust.” Just about everything the coach has touched has turned to gold.
He figured out the right way to use Oskar Sundqvist and the big Swede has turned into one of the best role players on the team. Berube has found ways to motivate Zach Sanford and Sammy Blais.
He even found a way to smooth over the idea of Alex Steen on the fourth line in 2018-19. That could not have been an easy sell, but the longtime Blues forward took it in stride and was a key to the team winning.
