“The general feeling is the identity flows from year to year but the reality is you have to create a new identity every year because you’re bringing in different player. We’ve taken our style of play maybe for granted, but you have to get new players to understand and have the same philosophy. Sometimes that takes a little bit longer. I would say I think our identity has been set now. Now we just have to put it into place on a regular basis.”

-Doug Armstrong, GM of the St. Louis Blues. More on the Blues from Jeremy P. Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
