The St. Louis Blues came into their first Stanley Cup Final in 49 years with a lot of hope and fan support beyond belief. St. Louis was buzzing the entire day and they filled up the entire Enterprise Center for a watch party for a game that was not even there.
They were rewarded for their passion and patience with about as good a start as anyone could believe. The Blues came out with tremendous energy and had the Boston Bruins on their heels in the early portions of this first game.
The Blues, as a team, were rewarded for their efforts as they got the first strike of the game.
