0:00.0	And that's how the West was won.
0:02.7	Aves win over the St. Louis Blues 3 to 1 and clinched the Western Conference.
0:07.6	The variance in this sport is just ridiculous sometimes.
0:12.1	Last game against the Blues, the Ave's defense definitely struggled and had issues all
0:16.4	over the place.
0:17.7	And in this game, the abs just dominated the possession, gave the blues very, very
0:21.3	little, and we're ultimately able to cruise to a victory. Obviously, context matters in the
0:26.1	difference of a Sega Baba and the abs getting forwards back into their lineup, but it's
0:31.6	crazy how dominant the abs looked at times in this game after the last one. The first period,
0:36.2	the abs out shoot St. Louis 17 to 2.
0:39.8	Yeah, no notes.
0:40.7	That's just really good.
0:42.3	It takes them a while to find the finish,

0:51.7	gets the abs going north with effect easily here and quickly, and they keep it simple from here. It's a simple passes to the open space, to the guys that are open, and at the same time, Val Natchushkin just goes right to the front of the net. You don't have to play complicated hockey all the time. So Taze sees a lane gets a shot off, St. Louis, admittedly, just kind of leaving Val alone.
1:13.1	We've seen the a afts do that and we know what happens. Val gets a perfect tip on this one.
1:17.9	That is an absolutely disgusting tip. And great to see Val get one into the back of the net again.
1:23.7	We've been asking for more scoring out of that second line for the last little bit,
1:32.2	and he was there to give it to the abs for this one. That play exactly, I do think is one.
1:37.4	The abs have been trying to run a lot. You've seen a lot of teams pack the box against the abs defensively and try and stop them from their forwards, penetrating to the middle of the
1:41.8	ice and creating high danger chances.
