Waddya mean? This is Stanley Cup time!

Blues and Bruins still tied at zero halfway into the first.

I had Blues in 6.

I’ll read about it in tomorrow’s newspaper. I can’t stand the stress.

Maybe only 2 periods away from the Cup? 2-zip end of the 1st.

(Good thing the Maple Leafs aren't in the finals... Toronto would be more bedlam than ever...)

25,000 people at the watch party at the baseball Cardinals outdoor stadium (Busch Stadium) watching on the outfield display - in the pouring rain. Tickets were $20 and sold out in minutes. The Cardinals are giving away ponchos and hot chocolate It is 54o F downtown. Another 20,000 people are watching at the Enterprise Center, the Blues’ home ice, but they paid serious money for entry. They sold out in 7 minutes Monday. There are at least a dozen other watch parties at area attractions such as Grant’s Farm (The Busch estate of Anheuser-Busch family, made a park and outdoor mini zoo and Clydesdale breeding farm by Gussie Busch), Ballpark Village (part of the Cardinals’ stadium complex) - pretty much anywhere a city Community Center can set of a Jumbotron-style or projection TV.

My wife just put her hand up and said, “I don’t want to know.’

I saw some clips of the Watch Parties -- wow, St. Louis must be the continent's (world's?) biggest watch party in history! Great to have such a super fan base!

I can't get the game live here (don't subscribe to cable in our house), so I'm just watching the NHL's Twitter feed and a small window open with the scoreboard.

Aaaaaaaaad . . . . . . Gloria!!!

This entire city is going absolutely crazy! In my little suburb someone has a live steam whistle just like at the rink. There are fireworks shooting off all over the place. Outside it sounds like New Years Eve - people just cheering and shrieking on their front porches.

Watching the Stanley Cup presentation as I type.

Why the Avalanche decided that they had seen enough of Mr O'Reilly after 6 years, is a question most in Denver still ponder.

Congrats to your Blues. They had a hell of a run in 2019!

And special congrats to Ryan O'Reilly! I knew he was special after seeing his rookie year!

It’s a mystery, but we’re happy!

They’ve always been a winning team - at one point 25 consecutive playoff appearances - but never sealed the deal. I just listened to an interview with the Blues’ T-shirt printer, who was up all night printing the constantly sold out Blues | Gloria shirts.

Yes, it's a Gloriaous and cool day for all those Stanley Cup hangovers!

Vin Scully once said "Losing feels worse than winning feels good."
You would think that to see so many Bruins players crying, but I'm gonna call BS on that one.

We can't leave out 11 year old Laila, the Blues good luck charm.
I wish the Bruins "fans" giving thumbs down last night behind the glass would be forced to read this to see how stupid they looked.
