1st time ever! Great hockey by St. Louis.
From dead last in the Western Conference on Jan 1st, to NHL Champions.
As a Flyers fan, it’s nice to see Berube coach a Cup winning team.
And they did it in Boston, where they lost in 1970 - the last time they were in the Finals.
Congrats St. Louis, you earned it
Capitals last year, Blues this year. Sharks next year?
They played a great game.
A great season!
Good game.
NBC is now censoring/editing out some of the language.
lol.
Never thought I’d see this day. Very, very thankful.
..stick tap to the Blues...
Red Berenson was watching, I’m sure.
Go Blues!
Current longest 4 Cup droughts are as of now:
1967-Toronto Maple Leafs-last Cup win of the Original Six era
1970-Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks-two oldest NHL expansion clubs to not yet win a Cup yet.
1975-Philadelphia Flyers-back to back Cups
1979-Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes-Entered NHL as a former World Hockey Association team and last of these clubs to not yet win a championship (whereas the Edmonton Oilers, Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche, and Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes have all won Cups).
That’s why I watch CBC for hockey
Also bonus hearing that gasbag Emrick deflate as he was announcing the third period I guess that joke about not being able to have a drink in St. Louis is now retired.
Sabres and Canucks are on the clock.
It’s surprising to me that it took so long for the Blues to win a Cup. You could almost fill an entire roster with the Hall of Fame caliber players who played for them from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. Brett Hull ... Adam Oates ... Pierre Turgeon ... Al MacInnis ... Scott Stevens ... Grant Fuhr ... Brendan Shanahan ... Keith Tkachuk ... Curtis Joseph ... Rod Brind’Amour ... Pavol Demitra ... Chris Pronger ... Doug Gilmour. How did this team NOT win before 2019?!
From last place midway through the season to a dominating Game 7 performance. Congratulation St. Louis Blues.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee shoots he Scooooooooooooooooooooores!
Too late! The curse words already made it over the air.
