“Let’s Get Another Stanley Cup”: St. Louis Blues Fans Go Gaga After Entering an Exclusive Club With 2000 Wins

Registering the 2-1 win against Ottawa Senators on 17th January 2023, St. Louis Blues became the eighth NHL team to earn their 2000th win.

St. Louis Blues uploaded a Facebook post after conquering the milestone, sharing the good news with the fans. Moreover, the fans didn’t just sit back, but celebrated along with the team with some congratulatory comments on the post. Let us have a look at some of the fans’ comments.
