Blues and Blueshirts, St. Louis and St. Louis

One had the longest championship drought in NHL history, the other remains the team to have played the most seasons without ever winning that championship.

They are the New York Rangers (aka the Broadway Blueshirts) and St. Louis Blues respectively. Each team recently pulled off a big trade in the hope of winning the NHL’s big prize, the Stanley Cup.

The Blues are a viable contender, having the third most points in the league at the moment. They added an outstanding  goaltender in Ryan Miller.

The Rangers are four points ahead for playoffs qualification. They traded for last year’s scoring leader, Martin St. Louis (Loo E).

Who knows maybe these trades will lead to “St. Louis vs St. Loo E” in the NHL Stanley Cup finals.
