They say you never forget your first. First relationship, first kiss, first date, first child, first whatever – they always seem to stay with you.
Whether it takes another 50 years or they win back-to-back, that phrase seems tailor made for the 2018-19 St. Louis Blues.
As a franchise that put its fans through so much over the years, they seemed destined to break hearts. Even in the best of times, Blues fans always felt the other shoe would drop eventually and kept waiting for the inevitable bad to happen.
St. Louis opened 2018-19 with so much promise.
