Video: The St. Louis Blues are brawling ... in practice
The Blues got off to a slow start this year and fired former Wild coach Mike Yeo after their first 18 games. Things haven't gotten better since.

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, with St. Louis going 3-6-1 since Yeo was dumped — including a 6-1 home loss to Vancouver in its most recent game.
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's video! They did, indeed, fight.
The mobile defenseman helped Team USA to another gold medal at the world juniors, and is thriving at Denver.
