Don Draper knows how to celebrate.
Following the St. Louis Blues’ 2-1 win over the Dallas Stars in Game 7 on Tuesday night, advancing to the Western Conference finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Blues superfan and St. Louis native Jon Hamm expressed his excitement postgame.
“This is what makes hockey amazing,” Hamm, 48, said.
A lifelong Blues fan, Hamm, who had been commentating on the game via the NHL’s “Cup Confidential,” was on the edge of his seat, much like every other Blues fan inside the Enterprise Center, where Patrick Maroon scored the game-winning goal in double-overtime. Hamm and Maroon embraced after the goal.
“We dominated [the Stars] for three periods and we still could have lost. And that sucks … except it didn’t,” Hamm said, according to St. Louis’ KMOX News Radio.

The celebrations naturally got underway soon after, with the “Mad Men” alum doling out countless high-fives.
“When you are remotely recognizable, everyone wants to high-five you, so it’s very difficult to determine how many high-fives you have to deal out,” Hamm said.
The Blues will find out late Wednesday whether they will face the Colorado Avalanche or the San Jose Sharks next.
