Ryan O’Reilly called the Blues’ play in Thursday night’s 2-1 loss “casual.” Craig Berube chose “aloof.”
“We got a point and move on,” coach Craig Berube said. “We gotta be better. Each individual on the team has to be accountable for his play. We need more guys in my opinion that have to play better. We have some guys that are aloof out there right now. Aloof with the puck and just a little bit casual. We need everybody on board to do the right things and play the right way.”
“Aloof” is certainly a good way to describe Thursday’s loss to the worst team in the NHL, or the Blues’ previous bad-team loss to the New Jersey Devils.
