Blues legend Brett Hull breaks down in tears following Game 6 win

The St. Louis Blues are headed back to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 49 years. It’s an emotional moment for long-suffering Blues fans but even more emotional for former Blues players.

Following last night’s Game 6 victory at Enterprise Center, Blues legend Brett Hull spoke with Blues insider Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic and… believe it or not The Golden Brett even shed a tear or two.

Check out Hull’s take on last night’s festivities, courtesy of Rutherford’s latest article for The Athletic:  

“When they hit zero,” Blues legend Brett Hull said, “there was (no emotions) because I knew we were going to win. I knew we were a better team, I knew the way we were playing, there was no chance we were going to lose. I saw Mr. (Tom) Stillman before the game and I go, ‘Are you OK?’ He looked at me like he’s scared to death. I go, ‘Tom, don’t worry, we have no chance of losing.’

“But it was after it hit zero when all of a sudden the flood of emotions hit me and I’m looked at Bob Plager, and I’m like ‘Oh my God.’ I watched Kelly Chase out here and he was crying. I go, ‘I don’t know if I cried that much when I actually won (the Stanley Cup)’ and we still haven’t won anything yet. It’s so exciting for this franchise and this city and the people and the fans to be going to the Stanley Cup finals.”

How awesome is that?

No matter what team you cheer for, you have to feel good for Blues fans right now. There’s just one problem… remember the last time they played in the Cup Final?
