ST. LOUIS - After falling short of playoffs for just the second time in 12 seasons, the St. Louis Blues are dealing with a longer wait than usual to hit the ice once again. For head coach Craig Berube, the lengthy wait serves as motivation. “That weighs on you all summer," Berube told Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch earlier this week.

Berube's run with St. Louis has been a largely successful one. He took a last-place squad midway through the 2018-19 season and turned it into the Blues' only Stanley Cup championship. The Blues followed up their title with three consecutive playoff bids and have finished among the league's top teams in attendance in the post-pandemic era. He's even earned two new contracts with the Blues and already has the third-most wins of any coach in team history. Last year, however, presented some roadbloc...
