It's been 49 years since the Blues have made it to the Finals. And we've never won the Cup.

This is our year.

I remember when the franchise almost moved to Canada and one name prematurely discussed was some form of “Saska-Toons.”

I wish you well! Besides the Isles, the blues are the team i want to see win a Cup the most, it’s a GREAT hockey town.

Good luck to you guys. It’s time.

And I’m a Philly fan who remembers the infamous Flyers-Blues Spectrum Rumble back in the early 70s... Ahh, the good old days... :^)

Berube is a former Flyer, I wish him and the Blues well.

It would be good to see St. Louis win this year. They weren't among my favorites, but all the teams I was pulling for ended up losing early on.

I've often speculated that the Blues must have been one of the worst-managed teams for a franchise that had the resources to get a lot of talent. You could make a Hall of Fame roster of former St. Louis Blues who played on some really good teams -- Brett Hull, Adam Oates, Al MacInnis, Chris Pronger, Grant Fuhr, Scott Stevens, Brendan Shanahan, Rod Brind'Amour, Pierre Turgeon, Curtis Joseph, etc. And yet they always seemed to be missing one or two key playoff ingredients and would quietly lose in the first or second round after being one of the top teams in the regular season. In this sense they were almost like the Philadelphia Flyers of the Western Conference.

This is our year.

I'm rooting for your team. One of my best pals is from beantown, and since the Pats and Sox both won championships this past season, he is insufferable.

If the bruins win, I can never visit him again {I'm from the Burgh, so we know how to win and lose with class and dignity, but Boston uggghhhhh}.

GO BLUES!

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned yet the opponent that the St. Louis Blues had back in the 1970 finals.

The Boston Bruins!

1970 was the year of Bobby Orr's famous Stanley Cup winning goal - against the Blues.

A rematch of the Bobby Orr Flying Through the Air Series.
Sweet!

The Schnarks couldn’t stop an ice cream truck. Riddled by injuries, they were out hustled, out muscled, out played.. and now, they are out..

I’m pulling for the Bruins and BoBBy Orr.. But the Blues ain’t a bad team at all. Should be a good series.. seriesly. ;-)

Hockey was a different game 50 years ago. now, get the puck out of here.
