This is the kind of team, season, and championship that makes you want to call up your old buddies or even acquaintances from yesteryear that you once made a connection with over this lovely game and our Blues. 

Loved Petro handing the Cup to Bouwmeester - the first one to touch it minus the Captain. 35 years of age, 15 year veteran, lots of mileage on those skates. 

Binnington a world class gymnast in Game 7 with all those moves! 

It's funny, isn't it? Growing up as a kid I envisioned that the rebuild project of Erik Johnson, TJ Oshie,  Patrik Berglund, and David Backes would be the ones to bring Lord Stanley to the Lou. Turns out it wasn't that carefully schemed rebuild orchestrated through weeks, months, and years of tedious hard work, but instead a team of, more or less, misfits, despite individual talent and flashes of team chemistry throughout the season. 

Party it up, Saint Louis. You're the best in the world! 

See ya at the parade.

Amazing what a coach who averaged 3 minutes a game in the Penalty box can do. With a good goaltender, and a solid bunch of players.

Like he said after game 6 several guys played softer because they didn't want suspensions for game 7.

This season is solidly on the shoulders of the coach!  Worst to first! Good calls by coach, good moves by the managers, and solid play by a good goalie. 

looking for more awards headed to the Blues next week after the NHL awards banquet, 

Coach, Rookie, Sportsman, Manager, linesman, should be locked Blues now.

Binnington Set an NHL record for a rookie goaltender by winning 16 post season games.

Binnington was great winning 3 games in Boston.  Should've gotten the Conn Smythe IMO. 

Winnington was solid, but had flashes good play, and missed a few, games 3 & 6 he missed this series. Ryan was solid throughout.

Blues need to lock him down while he is still hot!

I'm just a casual fan. I thought they were both good. But as a non-devotee, it was the best game I've watched in ages. Both teams went all out for 60 minutes with skill and speed.

I understand, it was good that game 7 was the most watched NHL game ever, 

Maybe NBC will learn more about the Blues now, and be ready for next year. Then carry more of their games.

A lot like watching SIU in the sweet 16 vs Kansas, (or Loyola in the final 4) the announcers were grasping for straws to get info on SIU.

Not really Bilas was all over SIU all year . He said probably 20 times SIU was going to give Kansas everything they wanted
