Was a very civil series. All other past matchups, I'd come away hating the opponent immensely. But this time, I never developed a deep hate for the Blues and their fans. Why is that?

Firing your coach because he can't lead a very good team to playoff success, and then hiring Todd McLellan seems like a great idea.
Handshake.Major congrats guys.
I probably had too much belief in the Blues heading into the series (I really don't know how they continue to fool me) but the Wild are a great team and deserved every win they got. You had good goaltending, an outstanding defense that blocked a ton of shots (Dumba was impressive for a rookie) and a forward group that played with a lot of tempo. I think guys like Parise, Zucker, Niederreiter, etc. really played with a lot of speed and tenacity that made you tough to play against and that's what you need in the playoffs. Those three in particular just stood out to me up front. You guys figured it out and the Blues didn't.
Well deserved, and you're handling the win nicely without being cocky or anything. I hope you guys beat the hell out of Chicago.

Who's listening to fan line? Caller just said the Avs were a tougher matchup for us last year than the Blues this year? What!
