Blues/Stars Have A Different Mentality Heading To Game 7

05/10/2016 at 6:35am EDT

from Craig Custance of ESPN,

Hitchcock is confident in exactly what he expects from his team in Game 7.

"I know one thing: We're going to come and we're going to come after them, big-time," Hitchcock said.

The Blues have been that way all postseason. They've been resilient. They've earned the trust of their coach.

The Stars? They seem to be learning the lessons of postseason hockey in warp speed. There were no bold proclamations from Stars coach Lindy Ruff afterward, just the observation that his group seems to pick something up each step of the way.

"We're still a team that's learning," Ruff said. "A lot of players, it's their first kick at this. I think we'll be better in Game 7. We'll be better again."

The Blues are coming. They've been on a mission since the start of this postseason, but the moment you start to count out these Stars, they surprise.

No two games in this series have been the same. There's no reason to believe Game 7 will be any different.
