After the Bruins powered their way to a Game 1 win, the Blues responded with an impressive Game 2 victory of their own. Now that the B's have claimed another series lead, the focus is on being prepared for the strong response from the Western Conference Champions.
"It started today," said Cassidy. "I think the video session was things we need to get better at. Things where we allowed them opportunities to get back in the game. Fortunate we got a save or they rung one off the cross bar and post. That was step one. About the magnitude of decision making. I don't doubt our players courage, compete, any of that. We're here for a reason. They have the same strengths in that area. It's just decision making with the puck. How do you allow teams - some of it is discipline, getting back on the, for them getting back on the power play. That's how teams get back in the game and usually it's mismanaging pucks, giving up odd man rushes.
"We talked about that all year. We talked about winning hockey. So, we talked about that at one o'clock today. Guys are on the ice preparing for tomorrow. Some of them will go on [Monday] morning. That's our approach. It hasn't changed much. Maybe after Game 1 we weren't' going into Game 2 determined enough with the players about how St. Louis would bounce back. Listen, a lot of teams have to live it on their own. We did, Game 2. Should be much better prepared for a response in Game 4, see how we react."
