Once the Blues turned the page on 2019-20, they left “Gloria” behind with it.
As they began their quest for a second straight Stanley Cup, the Blues went in a different direction for their post-game victory song. Laura Branigan was all the rage last season, and this year the players decided on Eddie Murphy’s 1985 hit “Party All the Time.”
Defenseman Vince Dunn revealed the song choice during the Blues’ virtual reunion Wednesday night.
“This year we have a new one,” Dunn said. “We haven’t really been too focused on it. It’s kind of just been whatever. We didn’t want to carry [Gloria] over from last year. Kind of just left it in the past. ... We have a pretty fun group. We like to have our fun, and I think the song kind of reflects on our group a little bit.”
It was also revealed during the reunion that a lucky Boston sushi restaurant was a go-to spot for several Blues players ahead of their final three road games in the Cup Final, which they won.
