Star goalie admits team has hit rock bottom...

Anything can happen in the National Hockey League, and as it was proven today, no one's job is safe after the Chicago Blackhawks fired head coach Joel Quenneville in hopes to lead the team in a different direction. The Hawks are not the only team facing tough times as the 2018-19 season hasn't been what the St. Louis Blues expected it to be... 

After making several important changes in the offseason, bringing in the likes of Ryan O'Reilly, Tyler Bozak, and David Perron, it was believed that success would be coming soon in the regular calendar for the Blues. However, 12 games through the regular season, the club finds itself two points out of last place in the Western Conference, and now their star goalie Jake Allen believes this is as bad as it can get in St. Louis. 

"Unfortunately, we're at the bottom here," Jake Allen said Monday, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "We've got to dig deep to find our way out."

The Blues have lost three of their last five games including Saturday night's contest, which they lost 5-1 at the hands of the Minnesota Wild.

"We've just got to be more consistent in our game," Allen said. "We got down a couple goals there last game and we sort of just took our foot off the gas. I thought we had two great games before that, building something here, building some positivity, some fun, a great environment. And we let the wheels fall off there last game.

"Last game shouldn't be something we’re proud of. Obviously it's a disappointing effort for us, especially at home. We’ve got to find it here. There's really no more answers, and no more questions, and no more talking."

It seems almost fitting that it is Allen making this statement, seeing that the Blues' biggest issue is their inability to keep the puck out of their net. The Blues are averaging 3.92 goals-against, second-last in the league, despite the fact they sit in the middle of the pack in shots against per game. As the statistics point out, before the NHL games scheduled on Tuesday night, the Blues' offense has been the fourth-most productive unit in the league, scoring an average of 3.5 goals per game.

Allen believes that if the Blues want tot get back into it, it will be a grind.

"It’s going to be a process," Allen said. "It really is. We put ourselves in a spot where we're really going to have to grind and find a way to get points. … It's going be a really complicated math problem and we've just got to find a way to study and get into it and get out of it."

Let's hope that the Blues are willing to work together or else, a major change could be coming... Some people believe head coach Miek Yeo's job is in jeopardy as he could also get the boot in St. Louis.
