It was a year ago Friday that the l-o-n-g wait ended for Blues fans. The team, after having the fewest number of points in the NHL in early January, completed a miraculous run to its first Stanley Cup championship by winning Game 7 of the Finals.

That victory, in Boston, ignited days of celebrating in St. Louis where an NHL title had been elusive for the team that had been around for more than half a century. So what better way to relive that locally joyous night than by rebroadcasting the monumental game? Thats what Fox Sports Midwest will do Friday on television (at 7 p.m.) and WXOS (101.1 FM) will do on radio (at 6 oclock).

The telecast will be an enhanced version of NBC's production and has commentary from Blues players and coaches about specific events as the game unfolds, as weaved in by the team's Blue Note Productions group.

Coach Craig Berube, while the lineups are being announced, discusses his decision to start the fourth line.

Alex Pietrangelo give his analysis of the circumstances leading to a crucial Blues goal late in the first period as the play happens.

Goalie Jordan Binnington discusses a key save he made in the third period.

On radio, the broadcast ends without play-by-play announcer Chris Kerber making his signature "bring out the Zamboni" call that he rarely misses after a Blues victory.
