What exactly are the expectations for the St. Louis Blues?

Pietrangelo hasn't regressed. If anything he showed a big improvement in his post-season play from previous years.

Big improvement? That is plenty generous.

Considering I've watched every single minute he's played in his career in the playoffs, it's not generous. He was outstanding against Minnesota. He's night an day better than where he was in his first playoff series.

Yes. But it takes more than one player to change that. They have a lot of players gripping the stick tight in the playoffs. But, as a Hawks fan, I enjoy the **** out of that.
