Don't think I forgot about the St. Louis Blues after the first round of the playoffs this year.

I was cheering them on the whole way through.

After round 2 commenced.

They were the worst team in the league in January and had to claw their way back up tooth and nail just to qualify.

And they did it, they finally won, after joining the league in 1967, the last of the original six expansion teams to do it (the California Golden Seals moved to Cleveland in 1976 and then merged with the Minnesota North Stars in 1978 who won the cup as the Dallas Stars in 1999).

It's great to see, they finally made it through to the end, after reaching the playoffs so so many times and coming up short of Stanley Cup victory.

With a rookie goaltender (Jordan Binnington) no less.

With all of the original six expansion teams accounted for, it now falls on the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks to win Lord Stanley's trophy.

An uphill battle to be sure.

But if St. Louis could turn it around so abruptly and manage to win in the finals, who's to say who'll win the Cup in any given season?

Congratulations to the long suffering St. Louis Blues fans.

That win must have been incredible.

It was great for me and I don't even cheer for St. Louis.

Two game 7 wins.

A hell of a lot of grit and tenacity.

A Toronto Jets shirt caught my eye yesterday evening while I was out and about.

That's who I was hoping would play in the finals this year after Montréal didn't make the playoffs.

Who knows what 2020 will bring?

But that would be pretty amazing.

As would another Montréal Stanley Cup win.

The city's even more incredible when the Habs do well in the playoffs.

Wow.
