Hats off to the Blues. Proud temporary owners of Lord Stanley's beloved Cup. And they did it the hard way. Beating the Boston Bruins in Boston in a nerve-wracking Game Seven. No small feat.
Then again, this series was odd in a way.
Out of the seven games played, the visiting team won five of them. So much for "home ice"
Though yours truly had no "dog" in this race, perhaps the right team won. After all, between the Red Sox and Patriots, Boston's had enough championship parades lately.
This was the Blue's first time ever, while the Bruins have a slew of Stanley Cup championship banners hanging in their rafters.
And who -- besides Boston fans -- can begrudge them their victory? It took them 50 years of trying to finally get it.
This, with a rookie goaltender that was alternatively praised and ripped over the series. Brilliant and El-Stinko. Either a brick wall or a sieve. Yet he was masterful when it counted the most -- Game Seven. No pressure. lol
So all hail the St. Louis Blues.

Finally, FINALLY, Stanley Cup Champions.
And very worthy ones at that.
Bravo.
[And even better news. The players can now shave and go see a dentist.] :-)
