Jake Allen stays in loss to Avalanche with pulled hamstring

This one is for everyone who thought that Allen tweaked something in the second period and then continued to tweak something throughout the rest of the game:

Allen: "I pulled my hamstring. I had to battle through it. Any other game, I probably would have went out. But it's a game we needed, needed to win ... I'm not leaving the game." #stlblues

Was this Jake’s call? The coaching staff’s? Ultimately it’s the coaching staffs’, because allowing a player to make his own call in a game where the playoffs are on the line is asinine.
