Gibbs was by himself for Game 5.

And as if his hometown was in the stands, he was the only Blues fan amid Jets fans. They all wore white. He wore a blue Blues jersey.

“I'm hearing, 'Go home, St. Louis!'” he said. “And then the puck drops, and I didn't even get a chance to take a drink of my coffee and they scored (14 seconds into the game). It was a hoard over me, the fans were so insanely loud. Just pulsing in there. Then they got the second goal – I was thinking, 'Oh God, please don't let this be a jinx that I came up and watched.'”

Down 2-0 in the third period, the Blues finally scored – “I didn't care if it was 38-1, I was still getting up, showing the jersey off,” said Gibbs, who was in the second row.

Then came the crazy second St. Louis goal.

Then came the heartbeats.

“My wife was sending me texts,” he said. “she said she was watching me and I was fidgeting in the seat, my hand was on my mouth.

“The last couple minutes when they were just relentless, it was like – come on, come on, come on. And then when they got that last goal (by Jaden Schwartz with just 15 seconds left) and it just stopped -- you could hear a pin drop.
