Couture’s post-game reaction
Logan Couture and the San Jose Sharks suffered a 5-1 defeat in Game 6 to the St. Louis Blues and Couture wasn’t happy with the offensive display in the final two games of the series as the Sharks scored only one goal in total.

St. Louis is blue!
St. Louis was the last-placed team in the NHL in the early January and they managed to make it to the playoffs and reach the Stanley Cup Finals. They will meet Boston Bruins, facing them for the trophy for the first time since 1970 when Boston swept the Blues.
That celebration says a whole lot.
