"St. Louis Blues shake up coaching staff, promote Bannister as replacement"
The St. Louis Blues have fired coach Craig Berube, leaving captain Brayden Schenn feeling guilty and responsible. General manager Doug Armstrong has appointed Drew Bannister as the interim head coach. Goalie Jordan Binnington believes it is up to the players to perform better. The team's underperformance and lack of passion were cited as reasons for Berube's dismissal. The Blues will handle the assistant coaching position in the AHL by committee, and Brad Richards has been added as a consultant to assist with the power play. Forward Jakub Vrana has cleared waivers and been assigned to the AHL, while Mackenzie MacEachern has been recalled by the Blues.
