Blues Owner Reacts to Another Early Exit
The poor St. Louis Blues have exited the playoffs early once again. I am not a fan of the Blues but I do have great respect for the organization. Their owner, Tom Stillman, shared some emotional reactions to the situation. Check out his comments below. Do you agree with his reaction?
Mike Halford from NBC Sports ProHockeyTalk had this to say:
The day after St. Louis was bounced in the opening playoff round for a third straight year, owner Tom Stillman went on local radio to explain that while he’s angry, he won’t make any rash decisions about the future of his club.
“People would probably love to hear me point fingers and blame and throw people under the bus, but for two reasons I don’t think that’s a great idea,” Stillman explained. “First, you should take a careful, deliberate look at what happened — what we did, what we didn’t do — and then make sure we figure out how we don’t do that again, and break through in the playoffs.
“The other reason is a matter of, I guess, leadership. We have an organization that’s going to continue forward, and I’m responsible for making sure that the organization gets it right and is successful. I don’t think it’s helpful if I’m up here and start blaming people and cutting off people’s heads.”
