Before Game 6 of the NHL's Western Conference Finals began, one group of fans at a table at Falstaff's Local encouraged the rest of the bar to stand and sing the National Anthem.
A few hours later when "Gloria" blasted over the speakers, the table didn't have to encourage anyone to get up. Everyone in the packed bar on Tuesday night was already standing, singing and wiping away tears.
The St. Louis Blues advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 49 years with a 5-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks to win the series 4-2.
