The St. Louis Blues had so many good-to-great teams in the past. That is where the idea of a curse was born from.
St. Louis had so many teams that seemed good enough to win the fabled Stanley Cup. Somehow, someway, they would find a way to lose it.
Other times, they simply ran up against teams that might be considered all-time greats. That was the case in the early 1990’s when Chicago had some of their best teams. It was even more evident when the Blues had to constantly contend with some of the best teams the Detroit Red Wings had ever assembled.
