St. Louis Blues
Formerly/aka N/A
Founded in 1967
Stanley Cups: 0
Original Six Status: No

While the St. Louis Blues are currently ranked 12th in the Western Conference, 4th in the Central Division, and currently for sale, they should not be brushed off as another failing franchise.  From 1980 until 2004, the Blues never missed a playoff (third longest streak in North American profession sports history, NOT JUST HOCKEY!).  They had some of the greatest players on their roster, Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull, Al MacInnis, Jacques Plante, and Peter Stastny just to name a few.

Since 1990, the Blues have had their own mascot in their stands.  Every time the Blues score, the Towel Man runs up and down the aisles, with a rally towel.  He counts off the goals with the crowd and throws his towel into the crowd.

Notable Players:

Jaroslav Halak

 

Alexander Steen
