LGB!

The title of this post is not a reference to any social issue.  It is instead the phrase St. Louis Blues fans are saying and writing to express their support of the ice hockey team; "Let's Go Blues!"  The Blues are in a battle with the Boston Bruins for the 2018-2019 Stanley Cup.  At this point the series is tied at two games with game five of seven scheduled for Thursday night in Boston.
I am a casual fan of the Blues and haven't been to a game in person since early January of 2016 at the Enterprise Center, formerly known as the Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis.  But, the playoff games this year have been exciting.  So exciting I get to the point where I have to turn off the TV because they make me too nervous.St. Louis and Boston have a long history of playing championships against each other.  The Cardinals and Red Sox have met four times in the World Series with each team winning twice, the St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots played each other in Super Bowl 36.  During the late 1950's and early 60's the Hawks and Celtics played for the NBA Championship four times with Boston winning three times.The Blues have always had a loyal core following but have never had as many fans as they do now.  Many of the fans cheering for the hockey club have jumped on the bandwagon and that number continues to grow.  And as it grows so do the number of people saying or shouting LGB!
