The St. Louis Blues have always enjoyed a tight bond with their fan base. That is one of the biggest reasons why so many former players ended up staying in the area once their playing days were done.
However, things have grown a bit strained over the past few days. The reaction to the effort level in Game 5 against the Dallas Stars has driven a rather large wedge between players and fans and also between fans themselves.
The divide between fans seems to splinter in many directions. There are those that believe what the players were selling and the team played fine in Game 5 and was the victim of bad luck and a hot goaltender.
