The Goals Will Come: Why worrying about Pat Maroon is futile

The St. Louis Blues haven’t even played 15 games yet and fans are restless with the local Big Rig, Pat Maroon.

The Oakville product hasn’t scored 20 goals, led the Blues to an unbeaten record, and whipped up a fabulous deep dish pizza for fans inside a month yet, so he isn’t doing his job apparently. I have already heard and read, “Maroon is a bust!” People expect the guy to put on the Blue Note and just become an international superstar. It doesn’t work that way. Let me explain why ahead of tonight’s game against the Minnesota Mild.
