The ghosts from Allen’s present may have moved into his past but have not gone away. Aside from having at one time another haunted Allen they share more in common than that.
Since Grant Fuhr left after the 1998-1999 season, the Blues have not had an actual number one goaltender and have been mired in a goalie controversy as well. So much so that debating whom should be the starting goaltender for the team has become city’s number one past time.
I will preface this by saying that I am not a huge Jake Allen fan.
