I think this Blues team thrives on adversity. Better road record in the playoffs than home. 4-0 when giving up a shorthanded goal. For the sake of the cardiac and mental health of their fanbase, I wish they'd just kick @$$ and take names, but so long as it gets us a big piece of silver hardware at the end of tonight, I'll take it.

Per a quote by his wife that CBS just aired, Ortiz will remain in the ICU for at least the next few days. Can’t see him traveling to the game. I would be surprised if they put him in front of a camera while he’s in such bad shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he has other things on his mind but have heard a video message to fans before game is in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 He gave up some soft goals earlier in the series, but Binnington was unbelievable tonight. I believe the Blues won this game in the first 15 minutes of the game when he appeared to be the only one in white who was ready to play. Congrats to the Blues and to you Blues’ fans. What a story!

Zlinedavid Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 To 52 years of waiting, to the Checkerdome, to not leaving for Saskatoon, to not having to avoid looking at that damn picture of Bobby Orr anymore, to Gloria, to Lalia, to interim head coaches, to rookie goaltenders, to going from worst to first..... To never giving up. Cheers, boys. I'm more than biased, but wow....if you're going to win your first title, could you script a better story?

Zlinedavid Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Gloria, no longer on the run now. Running after Lord Stanley, we finally won it somehow. Even after a slow down, they were careful not to blow it. I think we're headed for a Cup parade, so be careful and show it. I think we'll always remember, that a team they left for dead, Hoisted the Cup over their heads.....calling Gloriaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like so many folks were on the Blues bandwagon for the sheer fact that A) a lot of people don’t like the Bruins and B) people are sick of Boston winning championships haha.

That certainly didn't hurt. Actually kind of happy for a city like St. Louis. Fallen on hard times, Rams left,etc....they deserve a pick me up.
