A blind Saskatoon father and his son in St. Louis for Stanley Cup playoffs

Gerry and Wyatt Nelson werein St. Louis today for tonight's Stanley Cup playoff game between the St. Louis Blues and the San Jose Sharks.

How they got there is pretty incredible.

Gerry Nelson has been blind since 1988. Nelson's 12-year-old son, Wyatt, regularly calls the play-by-play for his dad in the stands while watching Saskatoon Blades games.

Earlier this month, a video was released of thefather-son duo, after their story scored them a visit from the Stanley Cup in Saskatoon.

Former Blades and Blues player Kelly Chase saw their story and invited them down for Tuesday'splayoff game. The Blues put together a video showingthe phone call between the team's general manager, Doug Armstrong, Kelly Chase, Gerry and Wyatt.

"Kelly showed methe video and what hockey means to you guys and it was very inspirational," said Armstrong in the video. "We'd like to invite you guys down to St. Louis and enjoy a Stanley Cup playoff game here in the next little while."

Gerry was lost for words.

"I can't talk right at the moment, but the short answer is yeah," said Nelson.

Wyatt's big break

Not only didGerry and Wyatt attendtonight's playoffgame, Wyatt is also going to try out his broadcasting skills on St. Louis Blues radio.

Chase invited the young hockey fan to join him in the broadcast booth and see how he does on air during the first period.Gerry said his son never disappoints when it comes to big moments like this.

"Like Wyatt does, you put him in a situation and with a little bit of pressure he shines a whole lot," Gerry said.

The video posted by the Blues of the father-son duo has now reached more than 440,000 people.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine something like this would happen in my lifetime, just to have a son like Wyatt," said Gerry. "To have a story with the Stanley Cup and now going to St. Louis, you want to talk about miracles and big breaks, I'm a lucky, lucky man."

Despite the support from Gerry and Wyatt, St. Louis lose the game 4-0 to San Jose.
