The St. Louis Blues came into Game 6 knowing they needed to play their best game of the series for their season to continue. And yet it was the Minnesota Wild who played like they had no interest in going back to the "Show-Me-State" for a seventh game.

If there is one thing that can make a playoff series more dramatic than it already is, it's the presence of a villain.
