St. Louis Blues star Jordan Kyrou became emotional when asked about being booed by the team’s own fans for his remark about former coach Craig Berube, who was fired earlier this week amid the team’s sluggish start to the season. 

Berube, who led the Blues to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup win in 2019, was fired Tuesday after going 13-14-1 to start the season. He was in his sixth year with the team.

"I feel personally responsible for the situation that we’re in," general manager Doug Armstrong said Wednesday. "It’s not a great day, but it’s a new day. Now we move forward."

But the real controversy came when Kyrou was asked about his relationship with Berube on Thursday. 

"I've got no comment. He's not my coach anymore," he said, via ESPN, adding that the Blues are hoping to "get our culture back a little bit" under interim coach Drew Bannister. 

The comment was not received well by fans, who liked Berube. They let him know that during Thursday night’s win over the Ottawa Senators when Kyrou was booed during his introduction and several times when he touched the puck.
