St. Louis Blues
DALLAS (AP) -- - Home ice belongs to the Dallas Stars for Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the St. Louis Blues. ''I have the benefit of the match at home,'' Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. The Stars led 3-0 in the first period and held on for the third consecutive victory in the series by the visiting team - and fourth overall. Continue to Article

St. Louis Blues
The 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs are chugging along to the conference finals, and once again the current playoff format is under scrutiny.  Should top seeds be better protected? Is the “wild card” format working? Does the NHL need to rethink this thing, or are you happy with the flip from the conference-based format to the rivalry-accentuating divisional one? In this Puck Daddy roundtable, we kicked around the current playoff format, debating what we like and don’t like about it. Feel free to add your opinions in the comments, and tell us if you think it gets a PASS or a FAIL. And here … we … go. Sean Leahy, Puck Daddy Editor The NHL looooooooves  rivalries. The league loves them so much that they changed the entire playoff structure to go back to divisional matchups, which could be fun, but mostly doesn't live up to the hype. It's like interleague play in Major League Baseball. There are some years where Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox can be fun, same for the potential of Rangers-Islanders, Blues-Blackhawks, Kings-Sharks/Ducks, but it doesn't work out that way usually. Then there's the question of what exactly the reward is for the Washington Capitals winning the Presidents' Trophy. Sure, they get home ice, but that isn't always the advantage it's pumped up to be. Instead, the Capitals get to face the second-seeded Penguins in Round 2 while the third- and fifth-ranked teams in the East met for a chance to move on to the conference final. Sure, you could say if you're the best team you should beat whatever opponent is put in front of you, but you should be rewarded for winning your conference in the regular season with the "easiest" pathway to the Stanley Cup Final, not just the ability to sleeping in your own bed the night before a Game 7. Ryan Lambert, Puck Daddy Columnist It's bad. It's not that there should be re-seeding — which, if they're going to insist on a divisional format, there should be — but rather that a divisional format necessarily ensures you're not getting the most advantageous matchups for top seeds. That, in turn, necessarily ensures more low seeds advance. The first round in the East had the No. 6 and 8 teams in the conference (Tampa and Detroit) play each other. Out West, St. Louis/Chicago was No. 3 vs. No. 4. That's not a re-seeding issue, it's a "how seeds are assigned in the first place is idiotic" issue. All of that helps conference finals become less competitive than they should be, because you're bouncing more good teams out of the first round and giving bad ones a better chance to advance. Maybe you say that this gives us better matchups in the first and second rounds instead, and to some extent that's true. But for me it doesn't make sense if you want the playoffs to be a meritocracy. It does help Build Rivalries or whatever, which is all the league cares about, but that isn't the stated purpose of playoffs in the first place. Continue to Article

St. Louis Blues
(The Sports Xchange) - Lindy Ruff knew his Dallas Stars needed to do two things on Monday if they wanted to force a Game 7 in their second-round series against the St. Louis Blues instead of going home for the summer. As a result of Dallas' 3-2 win, the series between the two teams that finished two points apart in the regular season will be decided in Game 7 on Wednesday in Dallas, with the winner advancing to the Western Conference final. A power-play goal from Jason Spezza, his first goal of the series, later in the period increased the lead to 3-0 and chased Elliott -- who had allowed only 10 goals on 158 shots in the first five games -- from the net.
