This Date in Blues History...

November 29, 2000:

The Blues erased a 5-0 3rd period deficit in Toronto, then went on to win the game 6-5 in OT.

The Note became only the second team to come back from a 5 goal deficit and did it in the fastest time, making it what many consider to be the greatest comeback in NHL history.

The late Pavol Demitra scored the game-winning goal in OT. The late Igor Korolev also played in the game as a member of the Maple Leafs. Both players passed away September 7 when the plane carrying their KHL team crashed in Russia. Both wore number 38 for the Blues.

Truly one of the great moments in Blues history.

Relive the game now...(relish Ken Wilson's voice!)
