The St. Louis Blues had the Chicago Blackhawks exactly where they wanted them. The Blues were leading their first-round series 3-1 and quickly built a 3-1 lead in the first period of Game 6 on Saturday. The Blues had quieted the Chicago standing-room-only crowd and appeared headed towards the series-clinching victory.
The Blackhawks had other ideas.
They responded with three goals in the second period, took a 4-3 and kept on rolling until they defeated the Blues 6-3. The building was no longer quiet. Now, there will be a Game 7 in St. Louis on Monday.
Brian Hedger and Scott Powers were in Chicago for the game and stuck around afterward to record a podcast and break down everything that happened in Game 6. Hedger and Powers will be recording podcasts following every game of the series.
