The St. Louis Blues have long endured the ridiculousness of the Western Conference and their division. For years, if not decades, they had to face one of the most difficult divisions in all of sports.
Every time it seemed like the Blues were ascending toward the top, they had to go against rivals that were all-time greats. Those great Blues teams of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s got lost in the shuffle because they had the Detroit Red Wings to go against.
The Blues of the early 1990’s and late 2000’s/early 2010’s had the pleasure of going against the Chicago Blackhawks.
