St. Louis Blues Top 10 Moments Of 2019 Stanley Cup Final

Honorable Mention: Maroon’s comments to Bruins bench Game 2

Once the Blues got to the Stanley Cup Final, we were all confronted with the question of whether getting there was going to be enough. For some fans it would have been. For others, getting that close without winning it all might have been the cruelest twist of fate you could encounter.

Things got even more real once the Blues actually played a game. They got all our hopes up by scoring the first two goals of Game 1 and then allowing four consecutive goals against.

The Blues were introduced to the highest stage of the game in a rather rude way. When the Boston Bruins scored the first goal of Game 2, it looked like it was going to be a very long, yet short series.

However, it was a goal by Robert Bortuzzo, the hero of Game 2 against San Jose coincidentally enough, that brought the Blues back to life. From that point, it was game on.

Despite the goal being a big moment, it was another moment for Pat Maroon that was most memorable. It was the moment that Maroon literally told the Bruins they were in trouble.

Point of fact, Maroon actually used more colorful language. But, if you boil it down to things we can safely print with children around, that’s what it meant.

The bottom line was Maroon knew what fans could only hope. He knew that goal was what the Blues needed to get going.

Yes, St. Louis would allow one more Boston goal, but they had found a way to get themselves going. It might have taken a lucky bounce, but that was all Maroon needed to let the Bruins know they had plenty in store for them.

Maybe Game 2 was a little early to be chirping that much. Still, in hindsight, it looked rather prophetic.
