25 years of post-seasons in the Midwest

Tonight, I'd like to pay tribute to the St. Louis Blues. This team will soon officially miss the NHL playoffs for the first time since 78-79, a total of 25 years. That's an impressive record, to say the least. Many notable Blues have worn the crest into the post season over the years, including Bernie Federko, Brian Sutter, Mike Liut, Rob Ramage, Tony McKegney, Jeff Brown and later heroes such as Adam Oates and Brett Hull.

Congrats to the Blues franchise on a bittersweet milestone.
