For the record, I am a Caps fan through and through (even though they break my heart EVERY SINGLE YEAR)
My second favorite team, however, for the last 25 years has always been the Blues, so I'm hoping they go all the way.
Here's why: The first time I was in college (pre-Army) I had a girlfriend from St. Louis. She had a very rich Daddy who had great season tickets to all of the St. Louis sports teams. Fall Semester, hockey season, she'd want to go home on the weekend. So we'd go back to STL for the weekend where her father would give me the keys to his Mercedes and his tickets for the night to see the Blues play. That was back when Bobby Hull and Adam Oates were together on the ice, so really good games, in really good seats.
I would take his Benz, watch great hockey, bang his daughter in the back seat of the car, and then go back to his house where I'd give him his keys and say "Thank you". It was fantastic.
Go Blues!
