YOUR Top 5 moments in Blues History?

Post by keithp40 »

What is YOUR top 5 personal favorite Blues hockey moments? Notice the emphasis on YOUR....things that you personally remember seeing or being excited about. For example, yes the Blues making it to the Stanley Cup finals in the late 1960s was a great thing, but if you were born in 1985, then it you really didn't experience that as a fan.

5. Looking forward to Twist/Probert fights. (Blues win more today when they FIGHT!)
4. The monster comeback (GAME) against the Kings in the playoffs (1998 I believe)
3. Brett Hull scoring 86 goals in a season (also chasing 50 goals in 50 games)
2. Sweeping the Hawks in the 1993 playoffs (Only God has more saves than Joseph)
1. Brendan Shanahan getting high sticked by Keith Tkachuk of the then Winnipeg Jets. Shanahn went into the locker room, got about 500 stiches over his upper lip. He came back to the game....scored the game tying goal.....then the go ahead goal....then proceed to kick the %$#! out of Tkachuk. And we let him go why?

Honorable mentions...
-Making the playoffs last year (What a run)
-Grant Fuhr promising victory in game 7 against Phoenix ('99 playoffs)

Chase probably fought Probert more than Twist

Oh, and I almost forgot! Good thing you're not a professional historian because I'm pretty sure you omitted a few notables from your list. What were they again? Oh, that's right....

MONDAY NIGHT MIRACLE???
Tuesday in Toronto???

Maybe...but the Twist/Probert fights and the buildup to them, were epic...even though there weren't many of them.

I believe he's talking about the monster comeback in game 4 when we scored three goals on a 5 minute power play in the 3rd period to either tie the game or go ahead.

I remember this. Some players after game 7 said that Fuhr told them if they won game 6, he guaranteed a game 7 victory. I don't think Fuhr announced this. It was a locker room thing that came out after the fact.

sorry, maybe i should just post messages like "just sayin" and leave it at that....

just sayin'

Monday nigh miracle? it would have been a better moment in my memory had they gone on to win the series. i think the fact that they blew it in game 7 pretty much ruins it. if team USA had lost the gold medal game after defeating the soviets in 1980, would there have been the hype behind the "miracle on ice?" i guess since the blues have never won a Stanley cup, we cling to those types of moments.

and what about someone not liking the 3rd jersey would get you all fired up? i recall other 3rd jerseys in blues history that completely sucked. aka the huge trumpets on the front....even keenan knew not to go with that one.

and i don't recall chase ever being able to go toe to toe with probert, twist on the other hand.....

....and if you were a bigger fan then you would remember grant fuhr's statement that came out.....

just sayn,

ZING! :lol:

Or the fact some of us were like 12 at the time... whichev.

See I'm only good for recent history because although I've been a hockey fan forever, I wasn't really a diehard Blues fan until Tkachuk got dealt, that was when I honestly started to follow the team. My personal favorite memories:

5) Salvador for Janssen

4) Sillinger for Shishkanov

3) Watching Doug Weight win the cup. And I consider that a Blues memory cause he'll always be a Blue. TEH DUG WAITZ!!!

2)The day we signed Paul Kariya. Despite the utter and complete FAIL! of that signing, that night was exuberance.

2) Sweeping the Stars to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

1) The day we clinched the playoff berth last season

hey... whateveh... I guess it wasn't that cool anyway.

:grin:

Honestly, tho... considering all the heartache this organIzation has caused all of us, that night was like winning the Cup. It was pandemonium!
