The Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues are headed to a Game 7. How else would these Central Division rivals decide what’s been a very close and entertaining first-round series? Five of the first six games were decided by one goal. Game 6 included a two-goal lead by the Blues in the first period, five consecutive goals by Chicago to pull off a comeback win and a very loud United Center.
The Scottrade Center is expected to be just as vocal come Game 7 on Monday. The Blues held a 3-1 series advantage, and the Blackhawks fought back to even the series. Will Chicago pull off three consecutive wins or can the Blues banish their first-round demons? Brian Hedger and Scott Powers met in St. Louis prior to Game 7 to discuss all that and much more. Hedger and Powers will be recording podcasts following every game of the series, so come back after Game 7 as well.
