I was always pretty neutral on St. Louis one way or another. The great thing about the Stanley Cup win was that Dave Taylor, who went to work for the Blues in 2010, after all those years suffering with the Kings, FINALLY gets to hold onto the Cup!
At least we got a cup! Before I die.
I have been watching the Blues since 1987 and they will NEVER win the Cup- oh wait…..
How long until there's real pressure on the Blues to win a cup again, do you reckon?
The Dallas series in 2016 actually went to 7 games
It kills me to hear talk about "one and done' for the Blues when we're perennial playoff contenders. That one cup was so deserved after so long being competitive, and i'm sure we'll be back into the playoff picture regularly for years to come. This year coming up will be a new-look Blues likely, but I trust Armstrong to keep talented new blood coming in.
Life would be better if they lost to Boston in the finals. Life was great when the blues had no championships.
The video for the Leafs is gonna be juicy
Most Stanley cup winners in this day and age are “one and done”
I still think it's CRIMINAL that Petro walked in Free Agency for FREE.
If Petro said ahead of time that he wasn't coming back, I'd understand picking up guys like Faulk and Krug, but I'd trade almost half the Blues lineup to get Petro back. He's their Captain, could have been a career Blue with plenty of leadership and at this point he's still a top 10 D-man in the NHL.
They tried back in the 80's to move the Blues to Saskatoon but Old Harold said Saskatoon Airport couldn't even land a big stork bird.
This is one of the things that bugs me about sports every league that does the divisional bull crap screws over good teams every single year you’ll see a team won 40 or 45 games and they won’t even go to the playoffs because a team in their division gets a free pass even though the record is probably much worse sometimes horrendous and it’s not fair to good teams is not fair to good players and what do you as a coach or a GM tell your team or your Fanbase we have to get better how you played a good season it’s out of your hands at that point it’s ridiculous
If they figured out a way to sign Dougie Hamilton I'd honestly say that would be good enough for me. Not like that would happen though. Sigh. I miss having an elite workhorse defensan.
Should be noted that '05-'06 ended a 25 year playoff streak.
Overall St. Louis has only missed the playoffs 9 times in 53 seasons.*
Sadly we had the worst history of choking once the playoffs started. Thankfully that changed!! I'll smile thinking of 2019 to the day I die. (The first round exits since then have hurt way less.)
* Most of the misses are clumped after the Laurie sell off destruction. Why do Walmart heirs always seam to go out of their way to screw St. Louis sports?
The Blues need to move Tarasenko to the Flames for Matthew Tkachuk. It would also be nice to be able to unload some of our smaller blue line players for some shutdown Dmen.
As a Sharks fan I don't really like the Blues, I think they've played dirty in the 2019 round against SJ but they've deserved the Cup so hard (and Meier's goal was unfair btw). For many years, the Blues have been the Caps of the West : good in regular season but no Cup. It was great to see these two teams winning the ultimate prize one after the other. I always have the feeling that if a team wants to go to the Finale you have to beat the Blues and it's always a challenge
I don't think Binnington's stats for the 2020-2021 playoffs tell the whole story. That whole team was so injured that he literally had three AHL defensemen (Santini, Mikkola, and Walman) in front of him against the best offense in the league. Considering that, he played fantastic hockey and kept the Blues in those games far longer than anyone expected.
I'm still riding the high of the 2019 Cup win. Which is why I'm not disappointed that they have blown in the first round in back to back years. Based off how I felt when the Angels won the world series in 2002, my guess is that once they enter their rebuilding phase is when this high will finally dissipate.
Regardless of what happens this year the blue cup run was the best ever and one of the few that could and should be a movie
Please do the red wings. They’re the greatest franchise in all of sports. You could even do the last 65 years and follow the rise and fall of the wings
Stars fan here. While not impossible, I feel the Blues won’t win a cup again without Pietrangelo. I understand they were in a cap crunch but he was the captain and the nucleus of that team IMO
Nice jersey
"Vancouver fans are curious as to how that would feel." I died.
As a longtime Sharks fan and former season ticket holder St. Louis has always been one of my favorite playoff rivals along with Detroit, Calgary and the Kings. That 2000 playoff series was one of my absolute favorite series because like the 1994 series against Detroit, St. Louis was heavily favored as the 2000 President Trophy winner and the Sharks were the 8th seed if I remember right just barely making the playoffs that year. That game 7 goal by Owen Nolan from across center ice on Roman Turek was a fluke goal that if I remember right ended up being the game winner. I always respect the Blues, there fan base is usually very respectful and knowledgeable to me so I try and show respect back. Good luck next year and hopefully see you back in the playoffs soon!
RIP Pavol Demitra
Blues could have won the Stanley Cup much earlier, if they had not traded Mike Liut to Hartford at the worst moment possible, while atop the Norris in 1984-85.
The Laurie’s ownership group set the team back by almost a decade.
Really hate the use of stats from the bubble playoffs. It's such a lame way to hurt someones stats and it feels unfair when who knows how many players played after being freshly recovered from COVID or just extremely not in shape due to a random 3 month pause. The entirety of that playoffs has an * by it imo and I wouldn't use those against anyone. I think Binningtons numbers in these playoffs also don't tell the story about how he gave his team a chance to win all of those games (except maybe game 3?). 3/4 of those games for sure were stealable if he got some goal support or some crease clearing and when he did see the shot he was mostly fantastic. Either way, its said and done I just don't think the flack he gets for his numbers in the last 2 seasons is at all justified and I hope he will be able to fix that in a regular season.
Just a thought: one thing you could add to the teams' records is their position in their division/conference. Mostly speaking for myself but I find it very interesting to see that compared to other teams, as well as the seeding in the playoffs.
EDIT: Also, Stanley Cup magnets where it applies! 🙂
Had the COVID pause not hit I feel it would've been St. Louis and Boston in the finals again last year.
I'm certainly still happy we got our one cup being from St Louis. I wouldn't count us out just yet we certainly need to make some moves this off season however. I wasn't a fan singing Binner to that long extension but I hope he bounces back. I hope we can trade Tarasenko for something decent and I hope we don't lose somome too beneficial to Seattle but we'll see what happens.
I dunno if you watched any of that Avs series Shannon but Binnington stood on his head that entire series and many of those games would of been way out of hand if not for him. That team just didn't have the defense or offense to handle Colorado. Record and % notwithstanding he was easily the MVP of that series for the Blues and a job well done.
Great video Shannon! One minor minor mistake was that St Louis beat Dallas in 7 in 2016, not in 6.
If San Jose was even close to healthy they beat St. Louis in 2019
2016 team was stacked and would've given Pittsburgh a challenge in the SCF. San Jose didn't stand a chance.
Definitely seemed like St. Louis was primed to repeat in 2020. They played fast and hard and were great on the power play. Binnington looked solid throughout most the season too and the team was clearly meshing on most levels. They often beat good teams by a lot. The pause definitely broke their momentum, esp for Binnington. We'll never know what would have been had the season not been interrupted, but it seems that the 2020 season was the Blues' best chance to get another Cup with this iteration. Unless they make some good moves in the next couple years, it may be back to things as usual in STL.
Goaltending and pure bad luck has always been the Blues Achilles heal come playoff time!!
They always play San Jose and Dallas in the playoffs so weird
Covid pause did hurt the Blues. They were rolling and had a great very chance to repeat.
Obviously after winning a Stanley Cup, you want more. However, I still think once you have the one it validates your team. I asked my Dad, who is from the Detroit area and remembers back when the Redwings were the team that could never win when it really mattered, in reference to the Capitals video, "Does Ovechkin winning one Stanley Cup atone for the rest of his career before and since when he fell short in the playoffs?" Without hesitation he said "absolutely, he has the cup and the ring, how could it not?"
Roman Turek is a bad word in my house. The Owen Nolan goal is the my single worst sports memory
