Game six of the second round - really, just game sixes in general, are the Blues’ Kryptonite when they’re down in a series. It’s tough to win that one extra game that’ll get you a chance for a game seven, but for the Blues, it feels tougher sometimes.
Perhaps it’s because that game six is usually proceeded by a few opportunities to put a series away, which doesn’t happen. The Blues had a perfect chance in game four against Dallas to send the series back to St. Louis with a commanding 3-1 series lead, and they did not.
