Blues Fans Rejoice As St. Louis Clinches First Stanley Cup Final Appearance In 49 Years
Enterprise Center and much of St. Louis erupted in bedlam Tuesday night as the final horn sounded, sending the St. Louis Blues to the 2019 Stanley Cup Final.
The Blues beat the San Jose Sharks in spectacular fashion, scoring two power-play goals and an empty-netter to win 5-1. It sets up a rematch of the 1970 final, which the Boston Bruins won in four.
Tony Sansone and his daughter Lilly were among the 20,000 fans taking it all in.
I was an anxious wreck, said Tony Sansone, who has been a Blues fan since he was 10 and remembers the teams last trip to the championship series. I didnt feel good until the last few minutes of this game.
