St. Louis Blues Headed to the Playoffs

This weekend was a great time for me as I watched my hometown and beloved St. Louis Blues of the NHL clinch a spot in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs and closed out their season with 9 wins in their last 11 games to finish with the sixth seed in the Western Conference playoffs and will face the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night. This year was a remarkable run for the Blues who weren't picked to make the playoffs but have had the best record in the NHL since the All Star break and are poised for a long run in the playoffs. The Blues were anchored by goalie Chris Mason who earned his sixth shutout of the season Sunday afternoon over the Colorado Avalanche 1-0. I am really excited and being a Blues fan for 28 years this season has been really special. The Blues went from dead last in the standings all the way to the playoffs in two months. This should be a great playoff season for them. GO BLUES!!!!!
