I was fired up by the email that turned into today’s question for “Ask Bernie.” Before I get to that, here’s another reminder and request: please submit your questions by shooting an email to BernScoops@gmail.com Thanks. With Jayson Tatum making another All-Star game,...
BERNIE BITS Five things I want to see from the Blues over their final 38 games of the regular season … 1) Improve on the road. This is important because the Blues will play 21 of their final 38 games away from Enterprise Center. At 9-8-3 they’re barely above average...
