When I was growing up the St. Louis Blues were on a local St. Louis cable station, and very few people in my hometown even knew what hockey was. Heck, I was one of those people.
But I remember my dad and uncle always talking about the Blues. So my uncle started recording the games for us on VHS, and after the games were over my dad and I would watch the games together.
Back then you didn’t have to worry about spoilers, so it may have been the next day before we could watch. Other times, myself, my dad, and both of my uncles would get together at my uncles’ house and watch the games.
