Brawl in practice shines light on Blues' woes

Things have not been going very well for the Wild lately, but things are REALLY not going well for fellow Central Division foe St. Louis.

The Blues got off to a slow start this year and fired former Wild coach Mike Yeo after compiling a 7-8-3 record in their first 18 games.

Things have only gotten worse since then. St. Louis is 3-6-1 since Yeo was dumped — including a 6-1 home loss to Vancouver on Sunday.

And during practice Monday, things seemed to have reach a boiling point when teammates Robert Bortuzzo and Zach Sanford fought each other on the ice.

I mean, sometimes a scrap during a game can change momentum but when it's two teammates doing battle I'm pretty sure the net benefit is zero or less.

In case you're worried that news of a practice fight was overblown: there was video. They did, indeed, fight.
