The Blues found something Saturday afternoon. Or, better said, they officially rediscovered their essence.
The charismatic combination of Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Steen found traction at the perfect time, maybe even at a potential eleventh hour, by creating the type of magic that can’t be overstated when revealed at the most important part of the calendar.
In need of a pulse, the Blues reincarnated the original S-T-L line. Their return helped produce a rejuvenating 4-1 win over the Minnesota Wild at Scottrade Center and a first round leveled at a game each.
History screamed that Game 2 was a must-have for a 51-win team.
