The St. Louis Blues will have a chance to reach the Stanley Cup Finals after a big 5-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks on the road and now the Blues can secure their place in the final with a victory in front of their own fans. Jaden Schwartz destroyed the Sharks with a hat-trick as the Blues dominated the tilt and San Jose’s head coach Peter DeBoer wasn’t happy with his team’s performance.
Five-star Blues
The St. Louis Blues dismantled the San Jose Sharks in Game 5 on the road and scored five goals without conceding one, which was the first time in this year’s NHL Playoffs they recorded a shutout. Jaden Schwartz scored three goals in a win and here you can see highlights from the game.

Tarasenko with a perfect penalty
Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal-scoring chance in the second period as he burst in front of San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones, but Brent Burns caught him with a stick and the referee awarded a penalty to the Blues. Tarasenko took over and scored an excellent goal.
A penalty shot with @tara9191 involved is absolutely lethal. #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/QULNEPTotv

DeBoer blames fatigue for a loss
San Jose Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer didn’t admit that his team was outplayed in a massive 5-0 defeat and instead he blamed fatigue for defeat. He also complained about penalties but it was obvious that the visitors were way better.

Will the Canes get an award for the Best Celebration?
The Carolina Hurricanes suffered a 4-0 loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, but their post-game celebration is one of the most interesting and they should win the Best Celebration award.
From Thor to duck, duck, goose, the @NHLCanes celebrated their home wins in style this season. Do they have your vote for Best Celly?
