By Lauren Theisen| Defector Verified The way I see it, these are the top five moments in St. Louis Blues history:1. Bobby Orr dives as his iconic goal sweeps the Blues out of the 1970 Stanley Cup Final, which St. Louis was only in because the NHL put all of the expansion teams in one half of the bracket. 2. Wayne Gretzky plays 31 games for them. 3. The team acquires a dog. 4. The Blues rally from last place in January to win a Stanley Cup—the first in franchise history and the last before COVID. 5.

As his follow-up, he threw nearly the exact same pitch, just a tad lower.
