The St. Louis Blues power play might be better without Vladimir Tarasenko on it. There, I said it and it is out in the open.
Blues fans that have read this space long enough know I am not one for hot takes. I do not just throw out an idea for clicks and views, just to see how it plays.
It should also be said that I am not one of those that rip on Tarasenko any chance he gets. I fully believe he is a star in this game. We expect more from him because we know he is capable of more, not because we keep hoping he is the next Brett Hull, though there are some out there that think that way.
