Blues won 4-1 to win 1st Stanley Cup After 52 in League!!!
Wow! Wow!.Wow! St Louis Blues dominated the Boston Bruins!
Ryan O'Reilly won the Conn Smythe Trophy. Ryan O’Reilly is going home with a Conn Smythe Trophy, a Stanley Cup, and a cracked rib. He’s a national treasure. O’Reilly became the Blues’ franchise-leading playoff scorer in this postseason after suffering a cracked rib in the second round against Dallas which he disclosed after Wednesday’s Game 7. There is always a long list of injuries released after the Stanley Cup Final, but this one was unsuspected and incredible considering his postseason tear. Even with his injury, lifting this 35-pound trophy was probably the easiest moment of his life.
Ryan O'Reilly was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff most valuable player after tonight's 4-1 victory over the Boston Bruins. O'Reilly finished the playoffs with nine goals and 16 assists, and scored in four straight playoff games this round. After a slow start that had fans wondering if he was hurt, O'Reilly came back in a big way to help get the Blues across the finish line. The Blues had several candidates for Conn Smythe: Jordan Binnington, Vladimir Tarasenko, Jaden Schwartz. But in the end, it was the player that the Blues got from the Buffalo Sabres for some spare parts that made all of the difference in the world. This is a weird way of celebrating, though.
In some ways, Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final was a summary of the St. Louis Blues season. It didn’t start out pretty for the Blues. Boston came into this game strong, controlling the play. The Blues got a shot on goal in the first minute of the contest and then for the vast majority of the period, they couldn’t get the puck to the net again. The play seemed to always be in the Blues’ zone with just brief and ultimately futile forays into the Bruins’ side.
And yet, the Blues hung in there. Jordan Binnington held the fort and then late in the first period, it was the St. Louis Blues who broke through. The shots were 12-4 in favor of Boston after 20 minutes, but the score was 2-0 Blues.
Boston continued to press in the second, but Binnington stayed strong. It wasn’t until 17:50 of the third period that they finally beat them and by then it only reduced St. Louis’ lead to 4-1. It’s also appropriate that Binnington played such a huge role in their Game 7 victory given that he was such a major factor in the Blues’ turning the tide from a last place squad into a serious contender.
Binnington wasn’t the only contributor, but he was the missing piece of the puzzle that helped transform St. Louis from a squad with promise but not results into the squad that delivered St. Louis’ first ever Stanley Cup championship in their 52nd year of existence.
On May 19, 2019, Binnington became the first rookie goaltender in St. Louis Blues history to record a shutoutin the Stanley Cup playoffs with a 5–0 win against the San Jose Sharks.[21] This was also the game where Binnington and the rest of the Blues broke the previous St. Louis franchise record for most wins in the playoffs (10) with their 11th postseason win; the Blues scoring five goals on Martin Jones and the Sharks. The Blues defeated the Sharks in six games, to advance to the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals to challenge the Boston Bruins, the Eastern Conference Champion.
On June 12, the Blues defeated the Bruins in game seven to win the Stanley Cup. Binnington started every playoff game.
The NHL Season is over! See in the Fall!

Blues bettor turns $400 into $100K after refusing to hedge
Scott Berry is a man of his convictions.
The St. Louis Blues fan found himself in the right place at the right time when he decided to make a sports bet.
The Action Network reports the Berry was on a business trip in Las Vegas on Jan. 2 when the Blues sat squarely in the last place. They weren’t in last place in the Central Division or the Western Conference. They had the worst record out of all 31 NHL teams.
Berry jumps on 250-to-1 odds
When Berry walked into the Paris Las Vegas sportsbook, he saw futures odds for his team sitting at 250-to-1. Even for a team as bad as the Blues, he liked the price. When he saw the Bellagio offering 150-to-1, he plunked his gambling budget for the trip down — all $400 of it — on his Blues.
Five days later, the Blues would make one of the most impactful lineup changes in hockey history, inserting rookie Jordan Binnington as their starting goaltender.
Binnington would go on to tally a 24-5-1 in goal to help push the Blues into playoff position. Sixteen playoff wins in goal later, and Binnington and the Blues are Stanley Cup champions.
