The Bruins outshot the Blues 30-12 in the second and third periods and dominated the Blues, but Blues forward Brayden�Schenn also believes it wasn't because Boston is better, St. Louis just wasn't playing their game.�
"We just didn't get to our game at all,"�Schenn�said. "We turned over pucks, didn't support each other, started flipping the puck a lot. We weren't making a whole lot of plays, and it forced us to defend a lot."
