The St. Louis Blues knew they had their work cut out for them when they ended up with the same amount of points as the Winnipeg Jets. At the time, we thought it was a bad thing that the Jets ended up with home ice advantage.
Who knew things would work out the way they have? Nobody, that is who. There is not one person on this Earth, that does not have some sort of fortune telling powers, that could have foreseen how this series has played out.
Basically, almost nothing about this series makes sense. As John Kelly said after Game 5, this is crazy.
