It’s crazy the Stanley Cup Playoffs are wrapping up its first rounds. Luckily for me, my hometown team — the St. Louis Blues — advanced to the second round.
Just over three months ago, I had the opportunity to cover the Blues while shadowing beat writer Tom Timmermann at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
At the time, the Blues were in last place and it didn’t seem like they’d even have a chance at Lord Stanley’s Cup. Now, after defeating the Winnipeg Jets in dramatic fashion, they’re the 5:1 favorites to win the whole thing, according to Las Vegas betting odds.
