The St. Louis Blues are one of the most storied franchises in the National Hockey League (NHL), embodying the pioneering spirit of the American Midwest. Founded in 1967 as one of the league's original expansion teams, the Blues initially endured decades of waiting for their first major success.
The breakthrough came in 2019 with the franchise's first-ever Stanley Cup championship. Led by playoff hero Ryan O'Reilly, goaltending icon Jordan Binnington and captain Alex Pietrangelo, the Blues rallied from a 0-2 deficit to defeat the Boston Bruins in the finals.
Unforgettable are Binnington's acrobatic saves and the championship parades in front of hundreds of thousands of ecstatic fans in St. Louis. Previously, legends like Brett Hull, Al MacInnis and Chris Pronger had made the Blues perennial playoff contenders.
Today's young, talented core features Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou and Russian Pavel Buchnevich. The passionate fans at Enterprise Center relentlessly spur on their Blues - capturing that next Stanley Cup seems only a matter of time.
