For whatever reason, the St. Louis Blues have managed to follow up wins with mediocre to poor performances all throughout the playoffs. Their saving grace has been that they were sprinkled here and there. Now they seem to be picking up frequency.
The Blues played well overall in Game 1, but didn’t play great. They were a bit fortunate to get the win with a bad second period, great goaltending and some fortunate posts hits from a defensive standpoint.
The Blues played worse in Game 2 and got absolutely no breaks at all and the Sharks were on point.
