Congrats to Blues fans. It's been a long time coming. They were the better team for most of the series but until tonight they just couldn't close the deal. I still don't know if they have the resolve to go a lot deeper but this was a step in the right direction.
As for the Hawks a first round exit may not be the worst thing for them as they have played a lot of hockey over the last few years. They need another quality defenseman as too much is being asked of Keith and Seabrook as they were outmatched for most of this series but stuck around because they have the best collection of clutch players in the NHL. In the end it wasn't enough against a deeper Blues team.
