 EDMONTON, Alberta AP - The defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues were managing their pursuit of a repeat well, carrying the best record in the Western Conference with largely the same roster. Then, with less than a month remaining in the regular season, the global pandemic put the NHL on pause. When the Blues reconvened in Edmonton, they found nothing but trouble in the bubble. St. Louis was eliminated in six games in the first round by the younger, faster and apparently hungrier Vancouver Canucks. You cant win in this league unless you have every guy ready to go and give you his best, in the playoffs. You have to have that, coach Craig Berube said. Our team was successful last year because we had everybody on board every night. The Blues went 0-2-1 in the seeding games, playing with a touch of disinterest. They rallied from two games down against the Canucks to tie this series, but then they squandered a 3-1 lead in the second period of Game 5, lost 4-3 and never recovered. Jordan Binnington took the net for Game 6 on Friday night at Rogers Place and fell behind 4-0 before the midpoint of the second period, pulled for Jake Allen. At times we looked like a junior team out there, the way we just turned the puck over, not playing the right way, a dejected center Ryan OReilly said after Game 6. Yeah, it came back to bite us. Vladimir Tarasenko, Alex Steen, Troy Brouwer, Tyler Bozak and defenseman Carl Gunnarrsson were all hurt, or reinjured, during the series. None of them suited up for Game 6. We missed some guys that give us a real identity when theyre in the lineup, said Berube, who took over early in the 2018-19 season when Mike Yeo was fired and wound up leading a turnaround from last place to the franchises first...
