When a team plays like this, usually a coach gets fired

But the Blues are an unusual breed. A frustrated fan gives his thoughts.

Those who stayed for the entirety of that abhorrent 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs tonight have my complete respect. Yes, even those of you who booed at the end of it. Hell, ESPECIALLY those of you who booed at the end of it.

That game was part of a stretch where the Blues have played in a way that, under normal circumstances, would get a coach fired.

But these are obviously not normal circumstances, are they?

For one, Ken Hitchcock's contract expired at the end of last season, which ended in familiar fashion for the Blues .
