Blues claim confidence in Jake Allen, leave him at home

The Blues have problems with their goaltending right now. They recalled Pheonix Copley from the Chicago Wolves, they left Jake Allen at home on their road trip to Winnipeg. They’ve had to issue a statement that they have full confidence in Allen, but how can you have full confidence in a goaltender, recall a guy from the AHL, and leave him at home?

It’s great to have full confidence in someone’s ability and their desire to get back on track, but you can admit that someone isn’t playing up to snuff right now.
