The Blues and Blackhawks definitely put up one fight this year during the first round of the playoffs. Each game was very eventful, and important to watch if you care about hockey. After game six things started to get very serious and competitive between the two teams, but also the sports fans! Who was going to move onto the second round? They were both 3-3 after game six. Even though the Blackhawks put up a good fight during the seventh game, it wasn't good enough for them too win. The Blues came out on top 3-2. The St. Louis Blues get to move onto the next round! As a fan that kept updated about all the games, and loves watching hockey, I felt so many different emotions when the Blues beat the Blackhawks. I know that every other Blues fan shared these five emotions when the clock hit 00:00, just like I did.
1. Happiness, bliss.
Because everyone felt this exact way when the game hit 10 seconds left. No matter if you were by yourself on the couch, or at the stadium, you were happier than a kid in the candy store.
2. Excitement
No one could believe that what happened, truly did happen. The fact that the Blues beat the Blackhawks was quite an amazing to witness. For all the fans, they were beyond excited to see their favorite team beat their biggest rivals.
3. Tears of joy.
I don't know about you guys, but I personally cried for about 10 minutes after they won. I was so happy for the team I couldn't help but shed a few tears! Though our tears were from happiness, we all know the Blackhawk fans were crying because they lost.
4. Relief.
When the Blackhawks pulled the goalie out to have an extra player all the fans got really nervous. Luckily the Blues made sure they didn't get anymore goals, and everyone could breathe again. A side of relief came though, when the Blues hit the hockey puck across the rink the last 7 seconds of the game.
5. Joy.
Any person that was watching the game wanted to go down to the rink, and personally hug every single player. Those boys played their hearts out on Monday night, and they deserved the winning.
Yes, we all know that it was the first row of the series which doesn't mean a whole lot to other teams, but it means a lot to our team. It also puts the Blues one step closer to possibly winning the Stanley Cup. I have complete faith in my favorite hockey team, and I know that they will play their absolute best in these next coming games. Good Luck boys!!
Loud and proud St. Louis Blues fan! #LGB.
