DE-FENSE, GOAL-TEND-ING, DE-FENSE, GOAL-TEND-ING. If that isn't the Blues new chant then there is an injustice in this world. After letting Game 1 slip away from them, the Blues run the table and win the series 4-1. It was costly for them, as they lose Halak in Game 2, but Elliott was healthy enough to fill in and not miss a beat. As for San Jose, they just couldn't crack St. Louis. At times it looked like Niemi was fighting the puck, Marleau was his usual "gutless" self in the playoffs, and Brent Burns was too busy elbowing Scott Nichol's head. St. Louis now moves on while San Jose contemplates a re-build.

Three Thoughts On The Series
- Jaroslav Halak was injured...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
- Should San Jose start a fire sale after failing it get past the first round? No. Will they? Probably.
- Doug Wilson wasn't kidding when he said he traded for Havlat because of his playoff performances. He was 2-1-3 in 5 games with an overtime goal.
Last year I did the same thing to mock Philly's goalie carousel. For St. Louis this year, this is done with praise. They combine to shutout the Sharks in Game 2 and and Elliott finished off the series with a winning streak.
