St. Louis Blues young superfan Laila got to kiss the Stanley Cup and the players loved it

Laila Anderson, an 11-year-old superfan of the St. Louis Blues who suffers from a rare disease called HLH, was flown out to Boston for Wednesday night’s Game 7 and the team made sure it will be a night that she never forgets.

Because the Blues won the Stanley Cup and then she was able to go down on the ice after the game and spend some quality time with the greatest trophy in all of sports.

Laila has become a big part of the team throughout the playoffs and has been seen firing up the crowds before home games.

The players were so happy for her:

What a night for Laila and the Blues.
