I was raised to follow the New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues, the two franchises that defined the final 30 years of Al Arbour's lengthy career in the NHL.
Since they rarely meet nor compete for the same spoils, I never stopped following either team. So here we are. On those rare occasions when they meet, I end up getting asked a lot of questions about one from the other team's fanbase.
So this time, as the Isles visit St. Louis following a stinker at home last night to the Boston Bruins, I decided to save everyone else the trouble and ask myself these questions.
