Hockey fans are ridiculously superstitious so I've done my level best to (mostly) stay out of this thread since we were winning when I wasn't in it. But now that's it's done, short of the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl, this would be the most amazing sports experience of my lifetime. Even the Cards winning the World Series isn't the same because it's just not the Cup. It truly is the most difficult trophy in sports; an agonizing 2 month long slog with guys just beating the holy shit out of each other for weeks at a time.

And for this team to do it after what Mike !@#$ing Yeo nearly did to them is truly remarkable. And there are stories EVERYWHERE. Jaden's sister, RoR, Tarasenko's maturation, Petro and his wife (truly incredible people), Parayko turning into a Norris winner, Bouwmeester getting healthy, Binnington existing, Steen humbling himself, Schenn being acquired for a draft pick and a drug dealer, Perron being on his 3rd go, Sanford's re-emergence after his dad died, Sunny and Barbashev emerging from nowhere, Maroon the hometown kid, Berube's interim tag, Gunner at the pisser.

On and on and on this team has been a rush. And now they're going down to OB Clark's in STL and literally passing the Stanley !@#$ing Cup through the crowd. Brett Hull's favorite chinchilla has just been chilling in it. Binnington's getting cuffs put on him by STL PD for 'stealing game 7' and the Captain is just out there hugging randos.

It's so surreal and just so ****ing cool. We'll never forget this team. For the rest of my natural born life I'll associate 27 with Petro instead of Rolen. Schenn owns 10 now (sorry Dallas Drake) and Mayers lost his 21 to Tyler Bozak. Hell, I see a #18 clown jersey and I think "why does someone have a Keenan Era jersey with Rob Thomas on the back?" and don't even think about Tony Twist.

What a rush this squad has been and as Blues fans we couldn't have asked for anything more. Especially not after seeing Marchand cry like a little ****ing girl. Inject this shit directly into my veins boys...

Officers are Clayton PD. I know who the one on the right is.

Anyways, I'll be at the parade taking metro. Getting out of downtown is going to suck.
