The Blues return to St. Louis with their first-ever Stanley Cup and set off celebrations that were 52 years in the making
- The St. Louis Blues completed a most improbable journey and wiped out decades of misery by beating the Boston Bruins on Wednesday to capture their first Stanley Cup and set off a celebration that was 52 years in the making.
“What an unbelievable year,” said Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo. “I don’t even know what to say. Where we were to where we are now... I tell you what, I’ve never been more proud to wear this jersey with this group of guys. It’s unbelievable.” But they made the most of their latest chance and in the winner-take-all Game Seven got all the scoring they would need in a late three-minute span of the first period while rookie goalie Jordan Binnington was sensational in the win.
“I was getting bounces. It was amazing, my linemates played great, I thought we created every night. It was just amazing.” Pietrangelo added another with eight seconds left in the period when he skated in and used a nifty backhand deke to beat Rask and silence the stunned home crowd.
