"It's f***ing awesome": Jordan Kyrou reacts to Blues fans' applause following his stellar performance
In the NHL, emotions can run high, and the relationship between players and fans can be a roller-coaster. Such was the case for Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues, who recently experienced a shift in fan sentiment following a standout performance against the Dallas Stars.
In a game that ended with a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory for the Blues, Jordan Kyrou found himself at the center of attention, not only for his on-ice contributions but also for the reaction of the fans in attendance. A video shared by Jay Onrait on Twitter captured the moment when Blues fans, in contrast to a recent bout of booing, erupted in applause for Kyrou after his after his multiple point performance.
The game itself was a seesaw battle that ended with defenseman Colton Parayko scoring the decisive goal just 37 seconds into overtime. Parayko's goal, a result of a rebound off a shot by Jordan Kyrou that tested Dallas Stars goaltender Scott Wedgewood, secured the Blues' second consecutive win. Kyrou's stellar performance included a goal and two assists, showcasing his offensive firepower.

"It's f***ing awesome. I love playing here. I love this rink. It was a great win for us tonight."
This positive reaction from the fans marked a stark contrast to a previous NHL game where Kyrou faced boos from the crowd. The video shared by Onrait was accompanied by the caption:
"After the booing last game, Blues fans are back supporting Jordan Kyrou."
