Berube tops NBCSports.com's Coach Power Rankings

ST. LOUIS - NBC Sports released it's NHL Coach Power Rankings on Monday and St. Louis Blues Head Coach Craig Berube ranked No. 1 on the list.
"We are not looking for the coach that has benefitted the most from a goalie, or a coach whose teams marginally exceeded expectations," Adam Gretz wrote for NBCSports.com. "We are looking for the coaches that have done the best job in the NHL."

With regards to Berube, the rankings compared some key stats from his first 53 games behind the Blues' bench with those of previous head coach Mike Yeo in his final 53 games behind the bench.
"(The Blues) are simply a totally different team under Berube, and not by a small amount, either," Gretz writes. "The overall possession numbers are better. The shot attempt numbers dropped significantly. Their ability to control scoring chances improved. All of that together, plus a solidified goaltending position, has dramatically improved the record."
Berube joins Boston's Bruce Cassidy, Tampa Bay's Jon Cooper and San Jose's Pete DeBoer atop the power rankings.
