What is wrong with Vladimir Tarasenko?
Formerly known as the charismatic Russian who said all the right things off the ice and dazzled with his play on the sheet, Tarasenko came under fire at the end of last season, when he managed just two goals in the Blues’ final five regular season games, leaving the ice due to injury (and some boos at a Hot Shots establishment) during the climatic Colorado Avalanche matchup. Let’s just say the seat that houses Tarasenko’s ass hasn’t gotten any cooler in the 2018-19 season.
It’s a deserving sigh, because he’s not having a great year.
