from Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Collectively, the hockey staff decided to exile veteran goaltender Manny Legace to Peoria. That was a difficult decision. Legace is a pretty good guy. But Manny wasn’t happy and he wasn’t playing well.
Since his exit, the Blues have seldom lost.
Collectively, the hockey staff elected to keep Tkachuk at the trading deadline and not collect some additional future assets.
Since then, the Blues have seldom lost.
This run from 15th to eighth place in the Western Conference has taken on a life of its own. The Blues transformed into an entirely different team.
Sometimes it seemed supernatural forces were at play -– like when the team rallied improbably at Boston for one of the most freakish victories in franchise history.
And here is the best news: The fun has just begun.
