From my seat, and this may be way over simplifying it, the parallels to 2011 are all over this series.
More offensive skilled team get ”bullied” out of their game. The top lines of the Bs and Canucks disappeared from the series as a result.
OT loser in Game2
Game3 is a blow out. Unlike 2011, the Bs let Bennington off the mat in G4.
Game6 blowout
Inverse Game7 blowout
The Blues neutralized the top two lines in a manner they could.
Tough to win when your 3/4 lines are carrying the play; they have a ceiling.
Bs don’t have a Thorty, Soupy, Looch anymore to keep other teams honest. The game apparently changed, until it didn’t.
As I said after Game5 I believe, I wonder if how the Blues did it, and how the league acquiesced to their play and Berube’s *****ing will cause GMs to build a buffer going forward
