Yep. The Blues made the Stanley Cup finals in their first three years, but it was like having the NY Yankees playing some minor league team for the championship. The Blues were swept 4-0 all three years, twice by Montreal and once by Boston.
I wasn't really paying attention to hockey that closely back then. I wonder how long-time fans felt about having a farce for the finals.
And the divisions!! Philadelphia in the west and Vancouver in the east. Yeah, yeah, I understand why it was done that way.
Anyway, kudos to the Blues. But why are they waiting so long to start the finals? It should be starting tonight or tomorrow.
The first Stanley Cup finals I remember was 1971, when Montreal beat Chicago in 7 games. But I read about the Blues making the finals in their first three seasons. That's why I called this season the first "real" time they earned it.
