Torey Krug (Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images) [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/985fba6f-95e0-461f-87d9-399cc2ef2a5f.jpeg] Torey Krug (Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images) St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong suggested on Wednesday that defenseman Torey Krug isn't expected to play in the NHL again due to an ankle injury that won't allow him to perform in the best league in the world. That's sad, because anyone who has watched Krug over the years, knows it must be killing him inside to not be able to do what he has done so well for the Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/former-bruins-stars-nhl-career-is-likely-over] and Blues [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/st-louis-blues/latest-news/krugs-career-likely-over-in-nhl] since he came out of Michigan State University in the NCAA [https://thehockeynews.com/ncaa] as an undersized, undrafted defenseman in 2012. Despite being only 5-foot-9, Krug did not just survive in the NHL, but he thrived. And he gave every bit as well as he took. And he was able to do that because of a passion for the game and a level self-confidence that were both off the charts. Watch today's video column for what made Krug such a good NHL player.
