from Frank Seravalli of TSN,
Two tough guys who wore glorious mullets when they first met in Philadelphia in 1986 gathered for a beer in Arizona after their teams clashed last December.
Rick Tocchet’s Arizona Coyotes just thumped Craig Berube’s St. Louis Blues by a 6-1 margin, sinking them back into 31st place in the NHL. Berube was two weeks into the job as the Blues’ interim coach, a tag that still hasn’t officially been removed.
“He looked at me and he said, ‘I need to do two things: change some stuff defensively and get them to believe,’” Tocchet recalled on Tuesday. “He said this team was good, but they had to believe. I believed him. He wasn’t down at all – and we had just pounded them. I think they hit rock bottom at that moment. That was their turning point.”
One of the first things Berube did when the Blues got home was take down the standings board in their dressing room at Enterprise Center.
