The St. Louis Blues have attributed their late-season playoff push to the presence of Jobu, a replica of the voodoo doll from the movie "Major League." Jobu's arrival in the locker room coincided with the team's impressive performance, going 19-4-3 and securing a playoff spot with a franchise-record 12-game winning streak.
Blues players have embraced Jobu as a good luck charm, giving him his own stall in the dressing room and crediting his motivational presence for sparking the team. Jobu's influence has drawn comparisons to the team's previous rallying cry, "Gloria," which symbolized their 2019 Stanley Cup victory. The Blues, led by Jobu and a midseason coaching change, have veterans feeling optimistic and reminiscent of the successful 2019 season as they head into the playoffs.
