On Feb. 28, Chris Thorburn was placed on the waivers by the St. Louis Blues.
On March 30, he helped the Blues earn a point against The Vegas Golden Knights by scoring his first goal of the season.
“Don’t worry, Thorburn will save the day.”
A phrase no one would say in the middle of a hockey game where the Blues were down 3-2 with minutes ticking off the clock in the third period of a must-win game.
These days, every win is a must-win for a Blues team that chose January and February to hibernate for winter and find themselves tugging a wildcard spot as the team plays in Arizona tonight.
