What a view!
@StLouisBlues
fans were Absolutely amazing today!! Congratulations to Blues fans and the St. Louis Blues Organization. I’m amazingly fortunate to work with such unbelievable people all year long. And thanks to the great fan who chucked me the cam of Bush Light!!
Watching so much content & fan videos of the parade. I absolutely love how the
@StLouisBlues
players took over THEIR parade & made it such a personal experience for so many amazing & terrific blues fans. What a terrific team & experience these guys took all of us through this yr.
😂😂 Boston had more PPs & the Blues had guys suspended twice. Bos top 2 lines were invisible 5 on 5. 😂🤣. Binnington Out goalied Rask in Game 7...Parayko & Bouwmeester defended better than any pair on the ice...but, never mind...Blues Won the Cup. right? I enjoy Boston’s crying
Hey
@NBCSportsPR
you know what you missed? An absolutely spectacular 1st per. by a rookie goalie! 17 saves in a shutout 1st per. in a Stanley Cup Final game 5, backstopping his way to a
#1
star. I’m willing to help if you need it breaking down the game.
Before we start tonight’s game. I want to thank everyone at
@KMOXSports
& KMOX staff for their amazing support of The
@StLouisBlues
and myself personally. As a St. Louisan, and former KMOX intern, it’s been quite an honor to be a part of such a historic and special station.
Only 6 franchises I. The NHL have made the playoffs more than the Blues and they are known as the “Original Six”. It really is amazing. Lets Go Blues Fans. Rest up for playoff hockey!
Alexander Steen retires as one of the most respected and impactful Blues of all time. His community impact just as big. Thank you Alex for all you have done and given to the people of St. Louis and congratulations on a great career of a Champion.
Alexander Steen has announced his retirement from hockey due to a back injury. Steen's NHL career spanned 15 seasons, more than 1,000 NHL games, 454 points and a Stanley Cup in 2019.

MORE DETAILS:
Jaden Schwartz was a fantastic Blue for 10 yrs on & off the ice. Treated people w/ respect. The Schwartz family opened up their hearts & family- shared their story & pain w/ everyone. Because of that, lives were saved. Thank you Jaden. I hope you have great success in Seattle!
I am from Missouri. I am therefore one of his constituents and I can unequivocally say
@HawleyMO
was not representing me in any way. I have also not heard 1 person I know say they approve of what he did. Embarrassing Missourians? 💯 Yes. Representing? Not even close.
Now Hawley is claiming that he “was never attempting to overturn the election” and was merely “representing my constituents.” Does Hawley think Americans are gullible and stupid? They are not, and most people can see through phonies.
So...
@patmaroon
reunites with Jon Cooper & wins a second consecutive cup.
@shattdeuces
gets bought out by his hometown team, given a chance in Tampa & wins a Cup
Luke Schenn wins a cup & can now celebrate with brother Brayden as Champions together.
God I love this game.
@NHL
Craig Berube is one of the best coaches/people I've had the pleasure working with/around in my 30 yrs broadcasting pro hockey. The respect & understanding he showed everyone in the organization was true leadership. Forever a Champion & wish him nothing but the best moving forward
Unfortunately I knew this would happen. So I say as politely as possible I don't care @ anyone's personal opinions on vaccines, strains, policy. I care for an elderly father, trust my family doctors & made personal decisions accordingly. You do the same. Just be nice & respectful

I apologize for anyone traumatized by this.....BUT....I’m honor of one of my all time favorite comedians..on the 34th anniversary of the release of “Back To School”...here’s to Rodney Dangerfield!!!
Pittsburgh edges out Buffalo for the top NHL market this season! Pittsburgh led all local markets with a 1.30 household rating for games on NBC and NBCSN. It also led all markets for NBC games with a 3.55 rating and finished second behind Buffalo (1.08) for games on NBCSN (1.02).
Man, you need some luck and bounces along the way to win it all.
No one will ever deny that. But wow, look at how close Jamie Benin’s wrap around was in GM 7 2nd OT, just 1:32 before
@patmaroon
’s heroics! Wow.
Before we open a new season, I want to take a moment to thank all the guys you see in this photo. We spend a lot of time away from family during the season. This group is our extended family that makes it worthwhile and fun. The best group in the business! Let’s do it again boys!
Kadri after the game: "Their defenseman kind of collided with me and pushed me into him. Had that not been the case, I don't think I would've hit him at all."
Not even close to what the video shows. Goaltender interference also remains the most inconsistently applied NHL rule.
I appreciate the fact that 8 months into a pandemic,
@SchnuckMarkets
is still making the efforts to wipe down carts before and baskets once they have been used. All day they do this. Thank you
@SchnuckMarkets
for the continued care and efforts.
On this day in 2011, Albert Pujols goes yard three times against the Rangers, tying a World Series record for home runs in one game.

David Backes finishes his career 7th in STL history in games played, 7th in goals, 10th in assists, 7th in pts & 5th in pims. Captain for 5 yrs & was a major piece in the revitalization and turnaround of a franchise. Congratulations on a terrific career
@dbackes42
Some were upset I said wear a mask last night on the air. This one feels I disrespected the audience. Folks, respect is understanding & doing whatever is needed individually & for others to overcome this pandemic challenge. Respect IS wearing a mask. Only together will we succeed

Zach Sanford did his job for the Blues. Grew into a player, dealt with tragedy, helped win a Stanley Cup. Now Ottawa gets much needed experience & the Blues get a younger player who needed a change of scenery & a chance. Thank you Zach & good luck in Ottawa. Welcome home Logan.
So a
@StLouisBlues
win and a Coyotes Regulation win vs LA on Wednesday clinches a playoff spot for the Blues. It would be their 44th trip to the playoffs in 53 years. Blues fans have only had to go 9 times without playoffs. That’s amazing.
This is what matters. A connection that means more than anyone can imagine. That’s what a team can do for a community or an individual. This made me cry too and I cannot wait for tomorrow. This is hockey. This is sports. This is life and this is what matters.

I’d love for St. Louis to be the host city for the
@BlueJays
. It’s the kind in place we are. Helping others is what we do. The Heartland of Hockey would be a fitting host city for a team from Canada. It would be awesome!

For last night's 2OT Game 7, St. Louis delivered a 16.0 rating on
@NBCSN
, NBC Sports' highest-rated Second Round NHL game on record in the market. Dallas scored a 5.2 rating, NBCSN's highest-rated NHL game EVER in the market.
Alex Pietrangelo has played 12 years in the NHL. A Olympian for Canada. A Captain and Cup winner. Yet analysts and hosts on
@SiriusXMNHL
or
@NHLNetwork
can’t say his name right. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The
@StLouisBlues
and
@SanJoseSharks
have become terrific playoff rivals going back to the 2000 playoffs. This will be the 6th playoff meeting since 2000 and the 3rd since 2012. Great rematch of the 2016 Conference Finals for a chance at the Stanley Cup Finals.

Ok. Easily found Mr. and Mrs. Edmundson outside before the game. We’ll see if we can find them in the stands for game 2!!!!!

Fact:
@UncleCharlie50
IS STILL the ace of the
@Cardinals
pitching staff. Flaherty isn’t there yet and no one else is even close. Argue amongst yourselves as there is no debate worth my time on this one.
The awesomeness of sports.
So
@Cardinals
today fans get to witness something that has never been done before in the history of the game.
Congrats Yadi and the Cardinals. What a moment created through hard work, teamwork, determination, dedication and loyalty.

@laurabranigan
Will always be one of my favorite all time photos. Pele came, talked to our school, and watched our soccer practice. I jumped out of a drill to get this picture!
My heart goes out to the
@Cardinals
organization& family & Bob Gibson’s family. The last few weeks have been as hard as they’ll experience and we’re all thankful for what the Cardinals, the Brock’s and Gibson’s have given of themselves for our enjoyment. They’ll be dearly missed.
Wayne Gretzky has more assists than anyone in the history of the league has points and we have not even tacked on 894 goals...oh, and in 243 fewer games than the next four in points....I’m not even entertaining a rebuttal.
With six titles, including three in the last five years, Tom Brady has distanced himself from the 'greatest QB of all time' discussion.
He's barging into 'greatest athlete of all time' discussion:
The
@StLouisBlues
currently have the 9th best point total in franchise history. If they went 4-2 in their final 6 games, they would finish with the 3rd best point total in franchise history. Full season perspective.
-The Blues have a .640 pts% with Craig Berube as head coach.
Just making sure the folks in Pittsfield, MA know where the best hockey bar in the country is during their 4th of July Parade! Happy 4th to all the fans of the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion
@StLouisBlues
I really do believe
@patmaroon
‘s story is really one of the great sports stories of overcoming adversity and gambling on yourself. It could really be a movie IMO. Amazing.
After hearing reports of “Let’s go Blues” chants on flight to LasVegas Yesterday, the atmosphere tonight should be awesome. Big game and Game Day!!
#JustGetIn
@StLouisBlues
Third straight year as a Lady Byng finalist and second straight year as a Selke finalist for O'reilly. So to review...1 Stanley Cup, 1 Conn Smythe, 1 Selke Winner - 1 TBD, 2 Byng Finalists - 1 TBD. Can you say HELL OF A TRADE???
@StLouisBlues
Keep those votes rolling for
@DP_57
. If you have not voted 10 times today, you have until 10:59 pm tonight. How awesome would a 3 on 3 shift be with Binnington in net and O’Reilly, Pietrangelo and Perron on the ice?? He’s more than deserving and has earned it!
For those on the wrong side of this debate this past winter, exactly how we’re the Cardinals going to be better without
@Yadimolina04
and who was the better option? Winning is a competitive attitude. He fuels it. He’s earned the right to retire a Cardinal and on his terms.
2 matches in and I have my least favorite player so far this year in
@MLS
. Copetti for
@CharlotteFC
. Just watched an entire half of him diving, embellishing whining and embarrassing his club. Love the booing every time he touches the ball.
#SportsVillains
#SportsNeedEm
Can’t help but wonder what the
@StLouisBlues
roster or even the defense of theirs’19 Cup run would look like had it not been for Covid followed by several years of a flat salary cap.
To be clear, I'm 1000% for as little gov interference in our lives. But maybe we need some consumer protection when it comes to TV carriers/providers & channel owners being able to charge customers full rates despite their inability to keep channels you've paid them to provide.
Just watched a bartender at the Beantown Pub in Boston walk over and stop
#PlayGloria
from being played on their system. This time they got 2 versus in before he stopped it!!!
@StLouisBlues
#LGB
@laurabranigan
....btw...I still love this pub. Great place to go!
Sorry you missed the puck dumped into the corner and a turnover in a 5-1 clunker of a game, Timmy. Not sure what we were thinking. Our bad. We’ll try to be better.
I completely disagree. We Feel ZERO pain! Happy for STL/BUF & thrilled for Tage
-Dallas Traded Iginla for a Cup.
-Calgary traded Hull for a Cup.
-St. Louis traded Thompson for a Cup.
You trade something to get something & when that something turns into a Stanley Cup? ZERO pain!
We can all agree as
#stlblues
fans that watching Tage Thompson’s success elsewhere is just a little bit painful
That being said, it’s just another testament to the drafting capability of the Blues
