Meet “Piggy Smalls.”

— St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) November 6, 2015 It all started with an honest mistake on Instagram. On Wednesday, the St. Louis Blues’ Instagram account accidentally wrote the words “roar bacon” in a caption, celebrating a goal that tied a match against the Blackhawks (they would later win 6-5.) Presumably, they meant to say “roar back”:
Well that was something.#OurBlues roar bacon with three second-period goals to tie the game 5-5.#STLvsCHI
Fans took notice and jokingly started using #RoarBacon on social media. Rather than correcting their mistake, the Blues decided to embrace #RoarBacon.
And that’s why, on Friday, Blues captain David Backes brought a pig to the locker room, as seen in the video above.
The pig allegedly (and unsurprisingly) took a dump in coach Ken Hitchcock’s office:
The pig's name is "Piggy Smalls." Backes said that it took a poop in Hitch's office and then admitted some players have wanted to do that.

Hitch on pig: "I don't know if that's a message from the players or from the pig. It was very clear and had a great aroma." #stlblues
