The St. Louis are getting ready to close the book on their championship offseason and kick off their first title defense this week, but they're still writing some glorious chapters Ron Greschner Jersey in the final hours. On Monday, the Blues received their Stanley Cup rings in a private ceremony. and not just because they each carry 10.6 carats in precious weight. Their championship bling brings some very cool features, including homage to Laura Branigan's "Gloria" (the Blues' adopted victory song) and Laila Anderson, the super fan that inspired the team on their incredible run last season. But not only did Laila receive a nod Pat Lafontaine Jersey on the Cup rings, she also received one of her own. In a video shared to Twitter on Tuesday, Blues players Alex Steen and hand-delivered a custom ring to Laila at her home in Mi souri. Her reaction upon receiving the surprise gift was just an absolute delight to behold. A special gift from her boys - thank you Laila for being such an inspiration during our run. St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) The 11-year-old Laila was well known to Blues players long before they hoisted the Stanley Cup last spring, but she became a viral sensation Rod Gilbert Jersey and beloved figurehead of the Blues' fanbase during the team's 2019 postseason run. After a period of isolation while battling HLH, a rare auto-immune disease that nearly took her life, Laila received word that she was going to be able to attend a Blues game during the Western Conference Finals, and her emotional reaction warmed the cold collective heart of the internet. When the take the ice for Game 3 on Wednesday, they'll have a very special guest in attendance. St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) From there, Laila was a fixture at the Blues' home playoff games the rest of the way. She was and, with the team Chris Kreider Jersey in need of a win in a do-or-die Game 7 of the Cup Final, she was invited to travel with them to Boston. After they clinched the franchise's firsttitle, she was on the ice to celebrate right alongside them -- even getting a chance to ki s Lord Stanley. Stanley, meet Laila. NHL (@NHL) Laila certainly doesn't need a Stanley Cup ring to forever be a sociated with the Blues' first championship; her impact on the club and the K'andre Miller Jersey bond that they forged during the run likely won't be forgotten for a long time. That being said, good on the Blues for making sure she got one anyway.
