One of my cigar buds is originally from St. Louis. The dude absolutely knows his sports trivia and is a complete baseball & hockey nut (probably why I like him!). I know it's killing him to watch the Blues right now, but I keep telling him... look at Chicago. They've made some changes in the front office, they're young & quick on the ice, they've got solid goaltending (Huet's gonna be the man), and they've been getting tougher and more physical, too (well, that last one might be a stretch, but you know what I mean). St. Louis will get there again, as well. And as long as the Wings are in the West (Bettman, you effin' rat!!!!) those are the rivalries that I'd really like to see again.
