St. Louis Blues Getting Defense Assistant Coach Hire Correct Is Key

The St. Louis Blues had a myriad of problems in the 2022-23 season. Of course, the biggest one was keeping goals out of their own net.

The simpletons out there will blame Jordan Binnington, because blaming the goaltender is just easy and lazy. However, putting whoever you consider the best goaltender of all time in the Blues net in 2022-23 would not have changed their fortunes much.

The problem was you had an entire defensive corps that underperformed, were often injured and simply had bad seasons overall. When a mediocre season by Justin Faulk is the best the team had to show, you know it was not a good showing by any of the six or seven blueliners the Blues regularly featured.
