It’s safe to say the St. Louis Blues aren’t going to be big fans of the New York Islanders’ home in Brooklyn any time soon. Heading into a game against the Isles on Thursday night, the Blues missed their morning skate due to a “clogged commute” which prevented them from making it to the arena.
#stlblues have canceled their morning skate all together because of the clogged commute to Brooklyn. Any updates at 4:30 when Hitch speaks.

There’s no telling where the Blues actually stayed, but they clearly weren’t prepared for what a commute to Brooklyn can consist of even under normal conditions.
Realistically, missing a morning skate isn’t a big deal (the GM of the Penguins thinks they should go away completely), but it is kind of funny seeing NHL athletes have to deal with the same struggles and frustrations of the common man.
Traffic sucks no matter what profession you’re in.
