When it comes to professional sports, things are rarely what they seem. For St. Louis Blues fans, the news that Vladimir Tarasenko wants out came suddenly.
However, the reality is this may have been boiling for some time. As good as some of the reporters covering the team are, St. Louis is not a media hub, so it’s easier to keep things under wraps for longer.
We have no clue how long the discord between Tarasenko and the team has been brewing. As talented and lovable as he can be, he’s temperamental and has clashed with the coaching staff on other occasions.
