The St. Louis Blues currently hold one of the more obscure records in sports history. For any sport.

They have, as of today, played 3,506 regular season games. They have never won the Stanley Cup. No other team in any sport can say that.

I don’t think any team in any other sport can ever hope to win the Stanley Cup. ;-)

The New York Yankees have played well in excess of 10,000 games, and have never won a Stanley Cup.

In any sport? How about the Chucago Cubs. Go Blackhawks. In game 5, they finally played up to their potential.

There are 11 active teams that haven’t ever won the Cup: Buffalo Sabres
Columbus Blue Jackets
Minnesota Wild
Nashville Predators
Ottawa Senators (expansion)
Phoenix Coyotes
San Jose Sharks
St. Louis Blues
Washington Capitals
Vancouver Canucks
Winnipeg Jets

The Blues are the oldest of these teams and have been in the league the longest by three years. The Blues came into the league as part of the West Division expansion in 1967 with the Kings, North Stars, California/Oakland Seals, Flyers and the Penguins. Two other teams from the next expansion in 1970 that haven’t won the cup are the Canucks and the Sabres.

Thanks for pointing out this dubious distinction. As if we didn’t already feel like the Cubs fans of hockey.
