Tonight’s game is special. It’s the first time in 49 years that the Blues have hosted a Stanley Cup Final game. That’s 17,924 days.
That is... that is not recent.
People like to say that nothing exciting ever happens in St. Louis, or that the city’s best days are way, waaaay behind it. I think that when you look at things that have happened over the past 49 years, well... ok fine, it’s not obnoxiously exciting and there are obvious ebbs and flows, but them’s the breaks.
Hopefully the next time someone looks at the drought between Cup Final appearances, this list is a lot shorter.
