The St Louis Blues Have Been Unstoppable Shit Kickers Ever Since They Brought Jobu Into The Locker Room
The St. Louis Blues have been on an absolute heater lately. They have gone 16-2-2 ever since the 4 Nations FaceOff. And after Jordan Kyrou sent the game to overtime last night in the final minute of regulation against Detroit, Cam Fowler capped it off in overtime to give the Blues their 10th win in a row.
This is a team that was 8 points out of a playoff spot before the 4 Nations FaceOff, and now the have the top wild card spot in the Western Conference.
Who, or what, do we credit for this remarkable turnaround in St. Louis?
The Blues fired head coach Drew Bannister around the end of November before hiring Jim Montgomery to replace him. Did it just take a few months for Monty to really get these guys going? Did Jordan Binnington winning the 4 Nations FaceOff with a ridiculous performance in that final game give him the confidence he needed to get the Blues going here after the break? Have the Blues benefitted from playing a softer schedule over these last few weeks?
Turns out it is none of the above. The true source of inspiration for the St. Louis Blues has been the power of Jobu.
Nobody knows how to wake up the bats quite like Jobu.
We've seen this before out of the St. Louis Blues. Not necessarily Jobu having his own locker stall, per se, but the Blues finding a way to channel some voodoo magic to go on an insane run after starting off the season like complete and total shit. Everybody remembers they were in last place before going on a run that eventually led to them winning their first Stanley Cup in franchise history in 2019. Now they have the same vibes going thanks to Jobu.
How are other teams even supposed to compete with this? There are only 2 weeks left in the regular season. That's not nearly enough time for any other team to conjure up any voodoo magic of their own. Even when we get to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Jobu has been on the Blues' side for months at this point. He has grown far too powerful. The only way to stop the Blues from winning another Cup here is if you can convince someone in that locker room to take a few swigs of Jobu's rum.
