Big talk for the team that just got their 1st Stanley cup win ever...


The NHL, in its wisdom, decided to put all of the expansion teams in one division and all of the existing teams in the other—kind of like when the NFL absorbed the AFL. The Blues, an expansion team, were the best of a pretty rum lot. They made the Stanley Cup Finals three times and were swept all three times.

It’s been nearly half a century, but this time they a least have a decent chance of winning the Cup.

And yet the first Post-Merger Super Bowl Champion was the Baltimore Colts, who moved to the AFC.
