NHL 5-8

Last nights match-up of the Dallas Stars vs. the St.Louis Blues in game 7 did not disappoint. In the last 5 minutes of the first period both teams scored a goal, no team would score again for the rest of regulation. The game continued into overtime with both teams tied at 1. However, one overtime was not enough and the game continued into a second overtime in St.Louis. It was early on in the second overtime when Blues player Patrick Maroon poked in a goal after a shot from a teammate pass Stars goalie Ben Bishop (who had been stellar all night). It was fitting that Maroon had scored the goal to send the Blues to the conference finals, he had grown up in St.Louis and recently turned down a higher salary to stay with the team. Hockey fans are spoiled again with a game 7 that will take place tonight at 9pm eastern time. The San Jose Sharks will look to defend home ice against the Colorado Avalance to advance to the conference finals. I think that the Sharks will go on to win this game and overall just have more talent then the Avalance. However, Colorado plays good when they are aggressive, and if they out grit the San Jose they have a chance to win.
