Dallas is a desperate hockey team and undoubtedly will come out of the locker room as such. It will be up to the Blues to maintain control of the series. They must retain their composure, let the two-game deficit and enemy crowd take control of the Stars. The Blues must let Dallas know right from the opening face-off that it is now their series to lose. They must maintain their composure, play their game, and avoid the silly penalties.
Desperate teams do desperate things.
With a couple of early St. Louis goals, the Stars could be shot out of the sky. Again time will tell, but this one should be fun. So as the Blues and their fans prepare for Game Three, perhaps it might be prudent to reflect on a few experiences of their baseball counterparts at 250 Stadium Plaza. In October 1968, the St. Louis Cardinals held a three game to one lead in the World Series over the Detroit Tigers and would return to the Gateway City needing one win. In October 1985, the St. Louis Cardinals won the first two games in Kansas City and held a three games to one lead over the Royals with Game 5 at Busch Stadium.
