The St. Louis Blues are just a few hours from taking on the Boston Bruins for the fourth time this series. The intensity of this matchup hit a fevered pitch almost from the word go.
Despite a relatively evenly matched five-on-five battle between the finalists, there is a perception that St. Louis is overmatched. Little could be farther from the truth.
People will have their opinions though. National media would rather die than give a midwestern team not named Chicago any credit.
However, there seems to be a general overreaction to much of what has happened this playoff run.
