The Bruins found out what San Jose Sharks, Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets learned the hard way: Don’t let the St. Louis Blues take a lead. Craig Berube’s team showed all playoffs it could lock down a hockey game better than anyone else in the NHL. Asked after Game 7 on the ice what Berube’s hiring meant to St. Louis, Armstrong didn’t hesitate. Much of that is the structure that helped St. Louis go from last in the NHL on the morning of Jan. 3 to the playoffs. Binnington came out of nowhere to lead St. Louis to the Stanley Cup.
