context please...when the NHL expanded they put the new teams (Flyers, Penguins, Blues, Seals, Kings & North Stars) in the same division. The original 6 teams all had been around since at least the 30s. If they had 2 regional divisions the Blues (or any other expansion team) would have never made the playoffs.
Oh my bad, then let me rephrase it.
And St Louis just got thier first Stanley cup win in the 46 years since an expansion team was able to beat an original six team for the Stanley cup
There happy?
