Jordan Kyrou emotional booed Blues fans

Jordan Kyrou was emotional after being booed by fans at home for his comments on former coach Craig Berube's firing.

Saint Louis Blues winger Jordan Kyrou was visibly emotional after being booed by his own fans during player introductions before their game against the Ottawa Senators. The 25-year-old addressed the unpleasant reception after their 4-2 win over Ottawa, acknowledging the difficulty of hearing the boos from the fans. Kyrou expressed his love for playing in Saint Louis and for the fans, despite the tough situation.

The booing came after Kyrou's comments on former coach Craig Berube's firing, following the Blues' recent struggles on the ice. Kyrou's apparent lack of concern for Berube's departure led to fans' displeasure, as he initially shrugged off the situation, stating that Berube was no longer his coach and focusing on the future with interim coach Brew Bannister.

Kyrou, who has been with the Blues for six seasons, was selected in the second round of the 2016 draft and played under Berube during the team's Stanley Cup win in 2019. Despite his struggles offensively this season, Kyrou remains focused on helping the team win and has emphasized his respect for Berube and his contributions to the team.

The emotional response from Kyrou highlights the impact of fan reactions on players, especially during challenging times. Despite the difficult situation, Kyrou's dedication to the team and his desire to contribute to their success remains unwavering.

The Blues' victory over Ottawa marked an important return to the win column after a series of defeats, and they now look ahead to their upcoming game against the Dallas Stars. As they continue to navigate the season, Kyrou and the team remain focused on their future and the opportunities to improve their performance in the NHL's Central Division.
