There’s no good way to spin a 0-2 series deficit. There is no good way to try and explain a second straight 2-1 loss on home ice in the post-season. Really, there is no good way to score against the Blues and Jake Allen. There just isn’t a good way to explain the Jaden Schwartz game-winning goal. And yet, the game must be recapped.
A phrase that should be retired after this season is the perfect way to explain this game: “Not good enough.”
Game 2 played out very much like Game 1.
