Blues remain confident in front of a daunting task
ST. LOUIS In a quiet locker room, gruff answers were issued in clipped sentences.
"We lost an important hockey game," Jaden Schwartz said. "Frustration is definitely part of it. We live to fight another day."
"That's playoff hockey, Alex Pietrangelo added. "And we have to keep grinding."

Game 2: Blues 2, Kings 1
Have you calmed down after last night's win? No? Me neither, but let's stop watching the video of Jackman's winner for a few minutes and talk about last night's game.
Just like Game 1, Game 2 was a brutal physical affair. Big hits littered the game, occurring on nearly every single play or possession. The Kings were looking to bring a more intense effort after...
Barret Jackman's late goal carries the St. Louis Blues to a 2-0 series lead
Game 1 it was Alexander Steen, Game 2 it was Barret Jackman as the St. Louis Blues win dramatically once again, 2-1 over the Los Angeles Kings to take a commanding 2-0 series lead. Barret Jackman was the hero tonight scoring his first career playoff goal with 51 seconds left in the game as the Blues took a late 2-1 lead over the Kings. The Blues now have a 2-0 series lead over the...

You've also probably memorized the call from John Kelly and Darren Pang by virtue of hitting the replay button on the video countless times. What you may have missed was the equally memorable radio call from Chris Kerber and Kelly Chase.
Listen to Kerber's call here.

Blues look to keep upper hand vs Kings in Game 2
ST. LOUIS (AP) Alexander Steen's overtime goal could be a lot more than a game-changer for the St. Louis Blues. However fluky the finish, they know they can beat the Los Angeles Kings.
Now, they'll try to keep the upper hand against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
"I think we had the adrenaline going and were excited being our home opener in the playoffs and a...
Holy jumpin! Oh my God! Game over!
The Blues beat the Kings last night in Game 1 of their Western Conference first round matchup thanks to a shocking overtime goal. Alexander Steen stole the puck from Kings goalie Jonathan Quick and put it in the net while St. Louis was short-handed and trying to kill a double-minor. The shock and surprise can be seen in this great call from Fox Sports Midwest where Blues announcers...
Blues survive late knockdown to win thrilling OT fight
ST. LOUIS Rare is a coach who will admit that, yes, certain games fit the description of a must-win. Most preach that one is never more important than the next, that what happens today has no influence on tomorrow. Ken Hitchcock, however, is different.
"Waking up tomorrow would have been a challenge if we didn't win the hockey game," the coach of the St. Louis Blues...

Steen's OT gives Blues 2-1 win over Kings
Oh, too casually, Jonathan Quick fiddled with the puck behind the net. Switching from backhand to forehand, last year's Stanley Cup playoffs MVP was set to re-load a Los Angeles Kings' power play that had more than three minutes left to decide overtime.
Those extra seconds of stick-handling ended up giving Quick a jolt of humility.
Alexander Steen swooped in and stole the...
Video: Jonathan Quick coughs up Game 1
Poor Jonathan Quick. After he kept the Los Angeles Kings in a tightly contested Game 1 with the Blues for just over 73 minutes, he coughed up the puck behind the net, allowing Alexander Steen to pounce and score the winning goal for the Blues in OT.
Quick appeared to be trying to pass the puck off of the boards and around Steen, but instead knocked the puck into Steen's stick...

Game 1: Blues 2, Kings 1 (OT)
That was a weird one, wasn't it? The Blues dominated long stretches of Game 1, earning countless chances against the Los Angeles defense. If it weren't for Jonathan Quick, the Kings might have dropped Game 1 by a hefty margin. Ironically, the same man that kept the Kings in the game for 60 minutes also was the one responsible for Alexander Steen's game-winning OT goal...
(Video) Jonathan Quick turns over the puck, and game to the Blues in O.T.
I do think that Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick would like to have that play back, not a good play, at the wrong time of the game. So, tomorrow's newspapers will read, at the 13:26 mark of overtime, Blues forward Alexander Steen scores the game winning goal off of a untimely turnover by Los Angeles Kings all-world goalie Jonathan Quick. Blues lead the series 1-0.
