Eh, the Blues played way over their heads all season.

The Kings problem all year was that they couldn't score enough goals. They were 29th in the league in goals for and 2nd in the league in goals against. They averaged 30.6 shots a game which ranked them 11th.
I think it's as simple as, all of a sudden pucks are finding the back of the net.

The Blues to me are just a team that played a good defensive system but outworked teams on a nightly basis. In the playoffs everyone works that hard so their advantage is negated. I feel to a lesser degree the same way about the Rangers although Lundquist makes up for a lot of mistakes.
