I think, regardless of the series, the STL Blues goal is to play the physical game and wear down their opponent and opposing stars. Don't think it will change too much!
What will happen throughout the rest of the #STLBlues Round 1 match-up against Chicago is uncertain, but one can bet that #DuncanKeith won't get away with cheap play much longer:

Ok, I'm a Hawks fan. But for the love of god that was an awful article. Is THW going for legitimacy? Or just a collection of meaningless blogs? "All-American Captain David Backes"? Keith's "cowardly nature"? Keith "whacking Tarasenko in the face"?
The Seabrook hit was awful. We get that, no one in their right mind is arguing that. But everything else is stuff that happens in every single game of every single NHL season. Holy crap Keith slashed a guy? Holy crap Keith waved his stick in front of someone's face to mess with him? Obviously he's an awful person.
And please stop with the villainization over the "wakey wakey Backes" thing. These are two teams that hate each other....these players are not friends. Especially Backes who plays right on the line every night. Nothing wrong with that he's a great player, but he's always on that line and these teams have played a lot of hockey against each other over the years. I know just playing beer league there are some players and teams I don't care for, and when something happens I've found myself saying some choice words in my head. This is the NHL playoffs, shits gonna happen.

Keith is a bitch.
The hit on Backes pissed me off, Seabs is better than that. I don't mind the emotion from Keith and Toews or anyone else for that matter. For Christ Sakes its the Chicago Blackhawks vs the St. Louis Blues. It's also David Backes who's a jackass and certainly has done his share of bullshit, It's probably a good bet that bitch would be saying " wakey wakey Toews" or Keith, Seabrook, whomever... if it was reversed.
awesome...mods deleting posts again...good work boys, good work
I'm sorry. I'm letting my temper get the better of me and I apologize.
I've asked you several times if you wanted to be blocked from this area so you wouldn't have to see any THW posts. I asked you via PM if you could let me at least 'try' and see if this kind of partnership with THW would work - without you jumping in and being negative and perhaps turning new readers against THW before they even try them.

I edited my post and apologized. My post was my temper acting up - I regret my original post and hope you don't mind my deleting your quoting of it.
Hopefully you can forgive me Mister McGoo and at the same time, just stay away from this area that you hate so much.
Happy to discuss anything via PM or email, or even the phone. Thanks again

haha well, i think you're still missing the point, but I do appreciate the sentiment
not a big deal, like I said, I was simply agreeing with Fast Tony, it's not like it was an earth shattering post or anything
Meh- I skimmed through the article. Looks like something a honors HS student would put together (Surprised there was no Sedin clip). It's playoff hockey and you do what you can get away with. Is he going to mention the half dozen body shots Roman Polak landed while fighting for a puck along the boards last night? Why not write an article about Max Lapierre? And using Don Cherry to back up your viewpoint? Do people really listen to that buffoon?
Make no mistake, I am a Chicago fan but I am not particularly a Keith fan. While he is a marvelous hockey player, I am not really a fan of the person. He is a hot-head and is borderline dirty.
