Let’s go win a Cup. Those were the words that Ryan O’Reilly had said to GM Doug Armstrong after the St. Louis Blues had called to tell him that he’d been acquired in a trade from the Buffalo Sabres last summer. He immediately thanked Armstrong for “bringing me in” — well, rescue might be the more appropriate word — and then told him it was time to get to work and win a Stanley Cup. Now, it’s St. Louis who should be thanking O’Reilly. The 28-year-old centre delivered on the promise in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final on Wednesday, scoring a goal in a 4-1 win.
