The St. Louis Blues have gotten all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in 2019 because they were willing to get physical, fight for space and go that extra step. Alright, enough of the cliches, the Blues were the better team on most of those nights. I do say most because no team makes it to this point without a little good fortune.
That aside, what is astounding in the playoffs is how much we hate the opponent and their fans and we all love to do it. It might say something poor about human nature, but when it comes to sports, some of our primal instincts come together.
