The St. Louis Blues have set a new standard for accountability and leadership that resonates throughout the NHL, particularly highlighting the impact of standout players like Ryan O'Reilly and Braden Schenn. Under the guidance of head coach Craig Berube, the emphasis on mutual responsibility among teammates has not only strengthened team dynamics but also cultivated a winning culture that others aspire to emulate.
O'Reilly, known for his exceptional two-way play and leadership qualities, embodies the values that the Blues are instilling in their roster. His ability to hold himself and his teammates accountable has been pivotal in creating an environment where each player feels responsible for their performance on and off the ice. Schenn complements this ethos with his aggressive playing style and commitment to defensive responsibilities, making them a formidable duo in the locker room.

The Canadiens aim to nurture a similar sense of accountability among their players, especially as they focus on rebuilding the team for future success. With promising talents emerging alongside seasoned players, the Canadiens are dedicated to fostering a culture that emphasizes responsibility and teamwork.
