Berube’s Finest Hour

St. Louis coach Craig Berube has had a remarkable few months. He took over a lackluster and uninspired team from fired head coach Mike Yeo. The Blues had the worst Online sportsbooks record in the entire NHL at New Year’s. They were written off for dead. All Berube did was gamble the season and his job on a rookie goaltender name Jordan Binnington. From that point the Blues became the hottest team on the board and the NHL to make the playoffs and nearly win the Central Division.

But Berube’s best moment came in this series after a painful 4-3 overtime home loss in game three. The Sharks game winning goal came with an illegal hand pass that the four on ice game officials missed. And by rule the play could not be reviewed by video. Blues players and fans were outraged. Sticks were thrown by players and debris was tossed onto the ice by fans at Enterprise Center. Yet at that moment Berube stemmed the tide. He told everyone to get over it and move on to the next game. The Blues have won the two games that followed and can now clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup Final with a win in game six.
