Here is everything you need to know about last night's round one/game one playoff game between the St. Louis Blues and the Los Angeles Kings--
- The Blues dominated the game from almost the very start-- physically, in time of possession, and in terms of shots and scoring opportunities.
- Despite this, the Blues managed only one goal-- by Alexander Steen in the first period.
- Predictably, the Kings did put together a brief bit of attacking pressure right at the end of the game. And, also predicatably, they scored (a goal by Justin Williams with 31.6 seconds left-- click here for video).
- The Kings dominated the early part of overtime.
- When Kevin Shattenkirk got a double minor high sticking penalty midway through the first overtime, I assumed the game was about to be over.
- It was, in fact, over, less than a minute later, on Steen's shorthanded goal (see video below).
Game two is tomorrow night. Just in case you want to watch Steen's game-winning goal over and over again, here it is--
