Blues fans emerge from a parade hangover to get autographs from Robert Thomas

"It’s really neat to see all the fans come together and be so supportive of the team," says Jeff Thurman.

ST. LOUIS — Wednesday marks a week since the St. Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup in a Game 7 thriller.

From that point to the parade, St. Louis was party central.

But now we have to ask, is St. Louis partied out?

The folks at Wheelhouse hosted the Stanley Cup twice. They were so exhausted Monday, despite a home Cardinals game, they closed up shop.

"We’ve got a lot of cleaning up to do still, and repairs, and upgrades," says Wheelhouse Co-Owner Stephen Savage. 

And then there's Paul.

"Come one come on, there ya go," Paul Kjorlie said, coaching a car near his lot.

His pom-poms have a little less pep to encourage you to park near Busch Stadium.

"It’s a- quieter now but it’ll come back," he said, as he drapes himself over a nearby parking sign.

That’s certainly not the case for everyone. A large group of fans gathered at Fan Cave Sports for a chance to get an autograph from Blues young phenom Robert Thomas.

"It's cool how they're taking time out of their day to come sign and meet fans," said Jacob Cleuver.

"It’s really neat to see all the fans come together and be so supportive of the team," said Jeff Thurman.

Perhaps no one was more excited than his youngest and biggest fan.

"I brought this sign that says, Robert Thomas is filthy and he really liked it so we took a picture together and that made him my favorite," said Lucas White.

Well, maybe there was one a little more excited, but that would be Robert Thomas himself.

"It’s funny, I always watched Bozak growing up and now I’m on the same team as him but just having those young fans looking up to you, it really means the world," said Thomas.

While some in St. Louis may be nursing a little bit of a Blues hangover, Thomas is one of the young guns who are still celebrating, and that likely won't change anytime soon.

"Most people are fortunate to win it once so that’s what really brings our energy and as a team we’re so excited to bring it home to St. Louis," said Thomas.
