In a rather remarkable (and coincidental) stat, the St. Louis Blues have eliminated the Chicago Blackhawks from the playoffs three times now since 1993 and each one has come on April 25.
The Blues finished off a sweep of the loaded Chicago Blackhawks in 1993. That came in the then-Norris Division Semifinals and sent Ed Belfour into a straight jacket.
The same result happened in 2002 when the Blues knocked the ‘Hawks out of the Western Conference Quarterfinals in five games. After splitting the first two in St. Louis, the Blues took both games in Chicago before coming home for game five.
