ST. LOUIS — Of the 11 NHL All-Stars from the Central Division this season, four of them are Blues: Jordan Binnington, Ryan O’Reilly, David Perron and Alex Pietrangelo. And deservedly so.
The other seven were all booed by Blues fans on Friday, but none were louder than the ones Patrick Kane drew.
Kane steps on the ice for warmups? Boos.
Kane’s name announced as a Central Division representative? Boos.
Kane touches the puck for one of the skills challenges? Boos.
Heck, even during Thursday’s media session when seven other skaters were talking at the same time as Kane, he was interrupted by boos.
