The month of November has not been too kind to the St. Louis Blues, and although the record doesn’t show it, some players improved significantly.

St. Louis Blues

Grade: F-

But then again, a lot of the players have been really really bad once again for the St. Louis Blues. Too many times, the Blues have raised the hopes of their fans just to let them down at the last second.

The Blues went 6-8 in November, and it had some of the Blues highest highs and their lowest of lows including a stretch of three games in which the Blues scored only one goal.

November was defined by coaching changes and injuries. Mike Yeo was finally relieved of his coaching duties which left Craig Berube to be the interim coach, and the Blues have lost names like Alex Pietrangelo, Jaden Schwartz, and Alexander Steen to injury.

If there were an ‘F–‘, then I would give them that grade, unfortunately, this is not possible and I’m left with giving the Blues as a whole the worst possible grade that I can.
