ST. LOUIS BLUES: Coach Montgomery’s Mission to Transform Enterprise Center into a House of Horrors
ST. LOUIS – When Jim Montgomery took over as coach of the St. Louis Blues, he had one major goal in mind: to make Enterprise Center a terrifying place for opposing teams.
Montgomery, who was hired in May, wasted no time in implementing his plan. He immediately began working with the team to create a high-pressure, aggressive style of play that would leave opponents feeling overwhelmed and intimidated.
And so far, it seems to be working. The Blues have been on a hot streak, winning six of their last seven games at home and climbing up the standings in the process.
But it’s not just about winning games. Montgomery wants to create an atmosphere at Enterprise Center that strikes fear into the hearts of the opposition. He wants teams to dread coming to St. Louis and facing the Blues on their home ice.
And the players are buying into his vision. They have embraced the aggressive style of play and are feeding off the energy of the home crowd, making Enterprise Center a loud and intimidating place for visiting teams.
Montgomery’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Blues’ home record has improved significantly since he took over, and the team is now considered one of the toughest to beat on home ice.
But Montgomery is not satisfied yet. He knows that in order to truly make Enterprise Center a house of horrors, the team must continue to play with intensity and dominate their opponents at home.
So far, the results have been promising. The Blues are on track to make the playoffs and with Montgomery at the helm, Enterprise Center is becoming a place where opponents fear to tread.
