For the first time since the 2015/16 season, the St. Louis Blues are in the Western Conference Final thanks to a 2-1 win in overtime Tuesday night in Game 7 against the Dallas Stars.

As is the case in most sports, teams usually have a "victory song" they play after every win and for the Blues, that song is 'Gloria' by Laura Branigan.

As per Stephanie Baumer of KMOV4, the Blues started using 'Gloria' as their victory song early in the new year after some players heard the song being played during a commercial break of an NFL playoff game.

Now, the song has become a rallying cry for the Blues and their fans, and on Wednesday in honour of the victory, a St. Louis radio station decided it would play 'Gloria' for 24 hours straight.

There was only one song that could have been played and we respect the heck out of Y98 for playing it for 24 hours straight. Blues fans are hoping they'll hear it eight more times in the coming weeks as they'll need eight more wins for a Stanley Cup.
