champs

From last place to Champs. What a journey. What a team. Thank you, St Louis Blues!!! 

Special shout out to my 2 loves: 

Petro, who had me the very first time I saw him on TV at the Ice breaker in 2014. 😍Became team captain at 26 (he’s now 29), he has remarkably led this team to winning the Stanley Cup championship for the very first time in Blues history.

Binner, a 25-yr old rookie, who won his first NHL start in January with a shutout, now has the most wins by a rookie in a single playoff year. Cool, calm, and just looks so intense sometimes, he makes me feel all sorts of things. 😉😂

A captain at 26 and a rookie at 25 — life is just crazy like that sometimes. A reminder that “big breaks” don’t make appointments but always seem to come at the right time.

And to Vladi and Steener, the alternate captains, who have been through a lot with this team, and I’ve realized recently, as I have been scouring the internet the past few weeks, are also absolute sweethearts. I’ve also come to realized that a lot of them are.

And to Big Rig because he’s a hometown kid, and that winning goal in double OT game 7 of round 2 is one of my favorite playoff moments. Reminded me a lot of David Freese, also a hometown kid, in 2011 WS game 6.

So many pieces of this team just clicking into place at the perfect time to form the most perfect puzzle picture - the Stanley cup.

I tend to get obsessive about stuff (cases in point: SideA and the Cardinals) and if I don’t stop myself, they will take control of my life. So this will have to be my last Blues post for a while (in social media).... until maybe the next icebreaker. 😜

Gloria finally met Stanley, and they live happily ever after. 😉😂

(I don’t own any of the photos and video clips - some belong to the Blues, some to Fox Sports, and some are from random places I stumbled upon in my sleep deprived obsessed state the past few days.)
