“She is so special, everything about her,” Parayko said.

“She is such a warrior. She perseveres through everything. She is going through such a battle. I was happy to be with her today for this moment. It was special to me.”

It's touching to see that with sporting loyalties aside, the humble nature of the St.Louis Blues is what has stolen the show on the ice that night.
