Leafs should look to Cup-winning Blues for inspiration
NHL: DEC 16 Blackhawks at Maple Leafs | Icon Sportswire/GettyImagesToronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube has turned a January non-playoff team into a Stanley Cup winner before, so why can't he do it again?
If you surveyed 1000 hockey fans in January, 2019 and asked them who would win the Stanley Cup that year, there wouldn't have been a single person who said the St. Louis Blues, even if they were die-hard Blues fans. The team was at the bottom of the standings looking lifeless, but turned the season around going 30-10-5 from January 1st onwards, eventually leading to a championship.
