Minnesota Wild crush St. Louis Blues to set up clinching scenario (Puck Daddy)

The St. Louis Blues, darling pick by many to win the Stanley Cup – or at very least make it out of the Western Conference playoffs – are in trouble. A ton of trouble after losing 4-1 in Game 5 to Minnesota on Friday.

The Wild took a 3-2 series advantage and a chance to win at home Sunday. Ouch.

While Minnesota has definitely out-maneuvered the Blues this series and should indeed be lauded fort the clinching scenario, the Blues are choking … again. This team has never gone past the second round of the playoffs with Ken Hitchcock as the head coach.
