It sounds strange to say the St. Louis Blues need to not think so much. We hear things from pundits all the time about how this player is so intelligent or that player has a great hockey mind.
However, that’s exactly what needs to happen. That’s not to say that players need to play dumb. They still have to have their wits about them, but thinking too much can actually take you out of the game you’re in.
The one common denominator with the Blues has been thinking too much. They’ve had bad games, mediocre games, games where they fail to show up for one period and games where they failed to show up at all.
