Well the Hawks could have won both of those first two games if they weren't running around like individuals and taking selfish penalties. I believe after the 2nd game they realized that they weren't going to be handed a series win and started playing sound hockey to which they are simply the better overall team.
The Blues are a really good team but the quality of the Western Conference is such that if you don't have an elite forward on your roster you aren't likely going to be able to win 3 straight playoff series to get to the Cup. The have some good forwards but not a single game breaker in the lineup. That has to change if they are ever going to take the next step.
