Take all your regular season records and toss them out the window, along with whatever momentum either team might have through the first six games. The St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets had to lay it on the line in a winner take all Game 7. The crowd was electric, as expected, to start the game, but instead of weathering the storm, the Blues got right to it.

As the series between the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets shifted back north of the border, anyone expecting a nice, calm game was in for a rude awakening. Things went haywire in the first 90 seconds of the game. Unfortunately, the Blues didn't get off to a hot start. The Blues killer, Kyle Connor, found a soft spot away from Alexandre Texier and scored at 1:23 to put the whiteout crowd into a frenzy.

The St. Louis Blues came into their first home playoff game in three years knowing they had to come out strong. Anything less and they might be staring down the barrel of an 0-3 series deficit. The Blues and the fans got exactly what they wanted. St. Louis not only got off to a hot start but also got on the board. Pavel Buchnevich scored less than a minute into the game. It initially looked like it was kicked in, but Buch kicked it towards the net and then swatted it out of midair to make it 1-0.

We started getting answers pretty early. St. Louis played well from the start, but they weren't rewarded immediately.

Unfortunately, many of the bounces that went their way during that 12-game win streak are now going the other way. The Blues are going to have to make their own luck somehow. The first period of the penultimate game against the Seattle Kraken was pretty mundane.
