ST. LOUIS -- Don't open that Roman Polak door.
Justin Braun is just happy he can knock on that door now and see a friendly face.
When the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks last met in the playoffs, in 2012, Braun engaged in a fight he wished he had never accepted.
To which Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock after the game delivered one of the great all-time lines: "You found out, don't open the Roman Polak door. Don't ever open that door. Whoa."
Whoa indeed.
