The St. Louis Blues are not yet 24 hours removed from their laying of a fat egg in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Fans are already trying to make things sound better if the team would pull off the win in the next game.
At this juncture, it is unclear if this is a coping mechanism for people or they actually believe it. Even the players and coaches were sort of echoing this sentiment in the postgame.
The players seemed to know they had let the fans down and acknowledged that. Craig Berube made his first misstep in the postseason with his comments about a seventh game.
