IT IS DONE: St. Louis StarVladimir Tarasenko Stuns Fans and Leaves Head Coach Jim Montgomery Speechless With Maj……

In what will go down as one of the most unforgettable moments in Blues history, Vladimir Tarasenko delivered a jaw-dropping overtime goal that sent the Enterprise Center into absolute bedlam—and left Head Coach Jim Montgomery completely speechless.

With Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals hanging in the balance, the veteran winger proved why he’s still one of the NHL’s most clutch performers. After a grueling 61 minutes of intense playoff hockey, Tarasenko skated past two defenders, toe-dragged between the hash marks, and roofed a backhand over the glove of the opposing goalie in a move so smooth it looked scripted.

The goal didn’t just win the game—it clinched the series. The St. Louis Blues are heading back to the Stanley Cup Final.

A Moment for the Ages

The building erupted. Fans threw their hats, towels, and even their voices into the rafters as Tarasenko slid on his knees across center ice, arms outstretched like a conquering hero. The final horn was nearly drowned out by the roars of 18,000-plus Blues faithful.

Even Tarasenko himself looked momentarily stunned before being mobbed by his teammates.

“He just does things you can’t teach,” said center Robert Thomas. “That was vintage Vladi.”

Jim Montgomery: “I’ve Got No Words”

Perhaps the most telling reaction came from the bench. Cameras caught Head Coach Jim Montgomery standing stone still, mouth slightly agape, before he turned to the bench and simply said, “I’ve got no words.”

In the post-game presser, Montgomery was more composed but still shaking his head.

“You think you’ve seen it all in this game, and then Tarasenko pulls that off in overtime of a series-clincher,” he said. “That’s just… majestic.”

The Comeback King

Tarasenko’s journey back to the top hasn’t been easy. After injuries and trade rumors in recent years, some questioned whether his prime was behind him. But with 7 goals and 5 assists this postseason—and now a signature moment in Blues lore—it’s clear: the St. Louis star is back, and better than ever.

“This is my home,” Tarasenko said in a quiet locker room moment. “I want to bring the Cup here again.”

What’s Next

The Blues now await their opponent in the Stanley Cup Final, but for now, the city of St. Louis can revel in the magic of a moment that will be talked about for decades.

One thing is certain: It is done—and it was done with a brilliance only Vladimir Tarasenko could provide.
