Game 6 gets away from Blues after troublesome third-period letdown

[Sherman A1]

ST. LOUIS -- Despite its presence inside Enterprise Center, Lord Stanley’s Cup stayed hidden from sight Sunday night.

The Blues failed to clinch the series in Game 6, stifled by an outstanding performance from Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask. Rask made 28 saves in a 5-1 win for the Bruins to send the Stanley Cup Final back to Boston for a decisive Game 7 Wednesday night.

"Listen, if you told me four months ago we were going to be in the Final, Game 7, I think I'd take it," Blues coach Craig Berube said with a chuckle after Sunday's loss. "We've been a good road team. We've won twice up there in this series, so we're a confident group."

With thousands of people downtown in and around the arena ready to erupt for the home team, the Blues never gave them a real chance, missing on four power play opportunities throughout the evening to bring their rate with a man-advantage in the series to an inexplicably disappointing 1-for-18.

1. And the Blues will now have the daunting task

of winning Game 7 at the Boston Garden. A much more difficult hill to climb.
