The St. Louis Blues Are One Win Away From Their First NHL Title

The St.Louis Blues, in their 51st season (’68-2019, no NHL season in ’05) are on the precipice of their first NHL title after a (2-1) win, at Boston (Bruins) in game 5 of their NHL final series.

For the second straight game, Ryan O’Reilly, who played a brilliant all around game, “opened” in the first minute of a period, this time the second, giving the Blues the lead.

In the third period, he assisted on David Peron’s controversial goal (there appeared to be a penalty on the Blues’ Tyler Bozak and why did NBCer, Ed Olczck say nothing was called because the Blues were in the offensive zone?) which made it (2-0) and rookie Jordan Binnington stopped all but one shot, (a goal by Jake DeBrusk) among 39 he faced, manifesting in a chance for the Blues to title in game 6, Sunday night in St. Louis.
