St. Louis Blues Are NHL Champs

It was a helluva showing for the St. Louis Blues in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. On the road against a team with oogles of championship hockey history, and the Blues simply dominated from start to finish. I don't know many people who will cry tears for the Boston Bruins tonight. It's like seeing the Yankees lose the world series to an underdog cinderella team. I love the smell of Boston Sports upsets in the morning.

This is the St. Louis Blues first ever NHL Championship. The Blues entered the NHL in 1967 as one of six expansion teams. Of the four expansion teams still playing in their original city (Kings, Flyers & Penguins), the Blues are the only one without a championship; until now. As we die hard fans of hard luck teams know all too well, the longer the wait, the greater the reward.

Congratulations St. Louis Blues and your loyal fans.
