Do or die

After winning the first 3 games to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series the Blues appear to have let the Hawks back into the series losing the next 3 to go into game 7 ties at 3. Having lost the momentum they had early in the series the Blues appear to be in tough and have there backs against the wall. Goalie Martin Brodeur had these comments after game 6, "It sure looks like the forwards on the team have lsot the will to compete in this series." A key injury to Ethan Moreau appears to have stopped the Blues in there tracks. Line jugling has been the norm in the last 3 games as the coaching staff tries to get the offence going. A lack of discipline also appears to be killing the Blues who are the 3rd most penalized team in the playoffs.
Can they turn it around in game 7 with very little time till game time speculation is that backup Kevin Weekes will be in net for the crutail game but as of yet no word has been given from the Blues as they have been very tight lipped about game 7. There was a deal done between the Hawks and the Blues erlier in the season that would have seen Weekes playing for the Hawks but at the last minute the league permitted the Hawks to back out of the deal. Could this be the ultimate insult to the Hawks where Weekes does them in in game 7. We shall soon find out.
