ST. LOUIS — Robert Thomas skated into the left corner of the St. Louis Blues’ defensive zone, flipped the puck up to himself with his stick and held it in his glove.
There was no time left on the clock, so Thomas wasn’t looking to add another point to his eye-popping totals of late. He was retrieving the souvenir puck from the Blues’ franchise-record 12th straight victory, a 5-4 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
Yes, the club that was the last in the NHL in the 2024-25 season to win three in a row has now won a league-best 12 in a row.
“I am proud of that group in there to be able to overcome all of the adversity that we’ve had this year,” said Blues coach Jim Montgomery, who took over in November. “Whether that was self-inflicted by us, it doesn’t matter, we’ve overcome it. I’m proud of that group for what they’ve achieved.”
I'm going to speak for them since I haven't seen a reply, so this is just an assumption and should be taken as such until they reply. But, there's plenty of positive aspects of local churches outside of faith. Many churches run community-based philanthropy efforts and provide a gathering space for members and nonmembers which is especially helpful in locations that don't have much in the way of things to do or other places to gather. Humans are social creatures and whether gay or not, the church is a large community.
Hell, no one trusts the Internet, but still comes back to participate.
