Despite 3-1 lead after one, Blues never look comfortable. Hawks force Game 7.
Once again the Blues had a chance to eliminate the defending champs and for the second game in a row they failed, leading to a winner take all Game 7 Monday night. Unlike Game 4, tonight the Blues never seemed to be in control of any aspect of this game, despite holding a two goal lead. Brian Elliott could not contain a rebound, the defense stopped skating and the team as a whole could not sustain much pressure in the offensive zone.
