We all owe an apology to Zach Sanford

Couldn't agree more. This board was relentless in their bashing of Sanford all year. The "baby giraffe" was thrown to the "junkpile" by most, but when it really counted he proved many wrong. "What have you done for me lately?" couldn't apply more in this case. He came up big on the biggest stage there is and as an RFA he should reap some financial benefit from that. Big bodies on offensive with strong defensivezone/puck protection skills are tough to come by and I'm not convinced he isn't done getting 100% comfortable in his big frame. If he continues to build upon his strength game he could prove to be a huge contributor to The Note for many years. Add in the fact that he overcame the loss of his father while trying to make the team and what a feel good story you have. Couldn't be happier for him.

So I normally don't care at all about the NHL awards but I really want Binnington to win the Calder. For one reason and one reason only, his speech.

Binny walks to microphone with trophy: "Uhm, pretty cool. Thanks."

Walks off stage.

I need this to happen.

Never heard so many F words on NBC. Player A hands the cup to player B: "f*** Yeah!" Player B to C "f*** yeah!"...and on and on. Haha
Congrats to your city and team for this incredible accomplishment from AZ.

I knew we had a good team. But good enough to win sixteen games in the playoffs, with a rookie goalie and a sputtering power play? It was too much to hope for, but I did hope.

Boston was definitely the best team we played in the playoffs, and they beat us soundly in a couple of games. But the Blues wouldn't quit, weren't intimidated.

There are a hundred things to feel good about, but I feel the best for Alexander Steen and Jay Bouwmeester. This season was their best and probably last chance to play on a Cup winner.

I don't know where to begin to say everything I have felt in the last several hours since the final buzzer. As a Diehard Blues fan since I was a kid on the 90s that grow up during the Brett Hull era and from than on. The last 3 years I been able to invest in this team as a ticket package holder for the last 3 years since I had a job that allow me too. This team help me and my family get through some tough times. When my dad was fighting for his life in 2015, during his recovery we always made sure the Blues Game was on so he could at less hear it. He here with us to this day and we are able to share it. We may not been at the Enterprise Center last night where I watch this team win it all.

I know I think I celebrated for both of us. As I have no voice, I shed tears at the final buzzer, high fiving every fan I could possibly do, even hugged people I didn't even know but at this moment, the fans where all family. For me was by far the greatest moment of my life as a sports fan that I doubt will ever be replaced by anything because there is nothing that can ever top a franchise first ever Championship. 52 years this team been around and finally we laid to rest that no cup drought and does it ever feel so good. For all the players, former players, and us fans. We earned this, We deserves this and it was long over due but it now here and I am soaking it all in.
