The St. Louis Blues came into this game as one of the hotter teams in the NHL, or so we let ourselves believe. The truth is, and deep down we all knew it, the Blues were living on borrowed time.
Win or lose, St. Louis had not really played their best hockey to this point. They had managed to get by on skill at some points and will at others.
Both of those somewhat ran out in their game in Montreal. The Blues finally let all their mistakes do them in.
St. Louis has prided itself on being a defensive team and that is how they won the Stanley Cup.
