Troy Brouwer's Game 7 goal with the St. Louis Blues was scored more than five years ago, but he can tell the story of it in such vivid detail it might seem like it happened only yesterday.
"I was open and the puck came to me, so I was like 'OK, we're good.' And then I hit the post. I just kind of stared at it in shock."
Brouwer couldn't afford to mess up that moment. Too much was riding on that one play.
