Superior goaltending and defense often wins in the playoffs. Check for the Blues. San Jose has more offensive firepower, but the Blues continue to score enough to go along with their defense. The Blues are the most balanced team left in the playoffs besides Boston. San Jose has eeked their way past two teams, and have relied on a bit of luck/help from the officials in game 7s to propel them to the next round. I suspect that luck runs out against the disciplined Blues. St. Louis on the other hand has played lights out hockey since the new year, and got past a very good team in the Jets, and god mode Ben Bishop and the New Jersey Devils, Minnesota Wild, Dallas Stars to get here. Blues have had a tougher road so far.

St. Louis in 6.
