Ben Raby: Elliotte Friedman note on the significant of Chris Thorburn being the fourth Blues player to receive the Cup despite playing only one NHL game this season.
He spent most of the season in the AHL before the Blues recalled him so he could get better medical coverage for his son who is autistic.
Stephen Whyno: Thorburn played only a minute 51 in the NHL this season.
TSN Hockey: The Blues had gone 52 years without winning the Stanley Cup. Longest droughts now:
Maple Leafs – 52 years
Sabres – 48 years
Canucks – 48 years
Flyers – 44 years
Coyotes/Jets – 39 years
Apparently if I play for your squad a few years later you win the #StanleyCup @NHLBlackhawks @Capitals @StLouisBlues @NHL #NHL
