The 2019 Stanley Cup Champions

The MVP

The 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues made NHL history last night. The franchise’s first Stanley Cup and ridiculous turn around season from January to now. This was a team at the bottom of the standings, a new coach brought in, and a rookie goalie that no one gave a chance before, got called up because of this interim coach (who as of right now, is still the interim coach).

They fought through every round and this Final 7 games with Boston was a tough rink to cross. Binnington got lit up in two of those Boston games and he bounced back to have lock down performances in the following game. He basically won Game 7 for the Blues, fending off an absolute onslaught from the Bruins that the rest of the team couldn’t contain. He went 32-33 saves last night, giving his team the chance to strike when they managed to (only 19 shots on goal for the Blues).

Great series, great story. Congratulations to the Saint Louis Blues.

So the season is over and it’s the middle of June! So what now? The NHL Draft is next week and the shape of the 2019-2020 begins.
