Schule's NHL ULTIMATE of the ULTIMATE
(NHL) Colorado vs. St. Louis, 05/21/2022 8:00 PM, Score: 5 - 2
Point Spread: 1.50 | -167.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 7* play on STL.

A few weeks before the playoffs, the head coach of the Calgary Flames (Daryl Sutter) said that whoever played Colorado in the first round of the playoffs was wasting their time. It seemed like an odd comment from a coach who won a Stanley Cup as an 8th seed during his tenure in LA. He of all people should know that points earned the regular season don't always translate into an advantage in the playoffs. No matter how good a team is, they are always in danger of running into a hot goaltender that can steal a game or two, or even a series. The Blues come home for Game 3 with the series tied 1-1, and they are still the significant underdog. Jordan Binnington saved 51-of-54 shots in Game 1, and then stopped 30-of-31 shots in Game 2. The Avs have the more talented team, but that might not matter when the Blues have a Stanley Cup champion goaltender.
