DETROIT --Hockey is an imperfect game played by imperfect teams, and the teams that win generally are the ones that find a way to make key plays in key moments.
Yes, goaltending plays a big part. Yes, officiating and luck can play a role. But Esa Lindell made a good point after St. Louis scored off a fluky bounce to beat the Stars Saturday. The Blues were the better team and created more chances, so they probably deserved to win.
