Playoff hockey is insane enough. Mix in a Game 7, two rivals, the defending champs, a fanbase starved for postseason success and a double-post in the closing minutes, and you've got something else entirely.
That's what happened Monday night in St. Louis, with the Blues trying to finish off the Blackhawks. Down a goal, Brent Seabrook came as close to beating Brian Elliott as he possibly could've. He didn't.

If that goes in ... actually, forget it. It didn't. St. Louis held on, and the Blackhawks are out.
Congrats to Blues fans, and oh dear God.
