ST. LOUIS -- I would say Ben Bishop can put his feet up and retire now, that his life is complete. But the Stars would remind me that this thought is premature by 11 wins this spring and perhaps several years (Bishop is 32) still to come.
But on Saturday, while outplaying his opposite -- the Blues' talented rookie Jordan Binnington -- Bishop heard his name chanted from high in the rafters at Enterprise Arena. The strains of "Bish-op, Bish-op'' were not the sounds of love but it didn't matter since the visitors' penalty kill and the goaltender's big stops led Dallas to a 4-2 victory and a split in the first two games of this Western Conference semifinal series.
