For whatever reason, the St. Louis Blues and Washington Capitals have been locked in a battle to see who can disappoint their fans the most. Each section of supporters will likely lay claim to that title, but the bottom line is both teams have had their share of disappointing springs.
Each team has had their chances. Recent past is covered with Presidents Trophies and spectacular regular seasons.
When it comes to the second season, though, the Blues and Capitals just can’t seem to find that same magic. It hasn’t mattered if it’s Brett Hull or Vladimir Tarasenko, Dale Hunter or Alex Ovechkin.
