St. Louis Blues Jay Bouwmeester: Better Late Than Never
Jay Bouwmeester has had a rough go of things over the last calendar year. Before we feel too sorry for him, he has managed to turn things around.
To say that things have not gone smoothly for St. Louis Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester in the year 2018 would be underselling things. He had about as rough a time as anyone in recent memory.
Bouwmeester had hit rock bottom as far as fan sentiment toward him went. Not since the likes of Barret Jackman has there been such a heat behind the hate flowing forth that it could have melted the ice.
In his usual, quiet way, Bouwmeester just kept going out there and doing his job. It was just that he was not doing his job effectively.
