Although the Blues lost 4-3 in a shootout, their league leading 28th game going into the extra frame. It still secured the Blues their first ever President's Trophy in the BRHL2 and upsetting the Buffalo Sabres from their third potential President's Trophy in a row. On Day 145, the Sabres had 115, but who would have thought that they would have only picked up 6 points out of a possible 20? Meanwhile, the Blues were sitting at 104 points and seemingly out of reach. But 17 points from a possible 20, going 7-0-0-3, not losing a single game in regulation means that the St Louis Blues are the regular season champions!
"We owe a lot to our manager and coach," said team captain Tom Poti, "after securing the conference title, they kept saying as long as we didn't lose we had a chance to win the league. We would have liked to have closed out the year with a win, but only losing once in the last 24 games (18-1-0-5) just shows you how determined we were."
"It's a magnificient day for our club, I'm glad our team showed how determined we can be and we hope to continue the streak into the playoffs." Gareth Evans went on to say, "we would like to congratulate Luke and the Buffalo roster on their season, they were the favourites to win the league and showed that quality through the first 70 games of the season."
On their upcoming series against the Detroit Red Wings, the team released a statement that reflected the feelings of everyone associated with the St Louis organization. "Detroit Sucks"
