ST. LOUIS — Only once in the history of St. Louis Blues playoff hockey have they rallied from a two games to none deficit to win a best-of-seven series. And that took place way back in 1972 against the Minnesota North Stars.
It won’t happen this year. With their defense depleted and once again minus their leading scorer, the Blues fell 5-1 to the Colorado Avalanche on Friday at Enterprise Center.
Not even the presence of 9,000 loud Blues fans could help in the team’s first home playoff game since Game 6 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final against Boston. The Blues lost that one, 5-1, in a game that evened the series 3-3.
