"I was starting to wonder," Korte said as he waved a towel while standing on a ledge, straining to see the parade. "A lot of disappointments. They've had some good teams and they always let us down."

What followed was a 49-year stretch in which the Blues didn't make the finals — a drought made even more remarkable because the team only missed the playoffs nine times during that span.

I recall playing the Blues in the old NHL video games - since they had some pretty good scoring players (Brett Hull, Al MacInnis, Pierre Turgeon, etc.)

Congrats to the Blues. Nice fairytale story of worst to best.

That rookie goalie is some freak of nature. He would get blown out one game and the next he’d be lights out. It takes some kind of self Jedi mind trickiness to pull that off again and again.

In any other league, the dead-last team halfway into the season would had tanked the rest of the season in order to get a high draft pick

Sometimes ignorance is bliss, being a know-nothing rookie - just shake it off, lol

Congrats to St. Louis on ending that drought. I was just really happy, though, that they kept Boston from getting that ultra-rare triple. Would have been downright unbearable.
