Despite their best efforts to give it away, the Blues finally close out the series and advance to the second round of the playoffs. We talk about the sense of relief of finishing this round, and the apprehension of facing the Preds in the next. Also, the newly returned Jori Lehtera and Paul Stastny, and their impact on the game. Eric Staal took an ugly fall into the boards, and why didn’t we see a stretcher? But, at the end - Blues Win !!!

On to Nashville and Round 2!
