Coming off #RoarBaconII, the Blues’ exciting come from behind win over the Blackhawks by the score of 2-1, it seemed like the St. Louis Blues were going to go into the playoffs riding a wave of momentum. Instead, as waves are prone to do, it came crashing down.
The game opened up fantastically. Vladimir Tarasenko put the Blues up by the score of 1-0. It took only 1:15 and things seemed to be shaping up for a great run toward the division title.
Instead, Alexander Ovechkin tied up the game at 4:04 of the first period and the Capitals never looked back.
