First, a warning to Chicago fans and readers: This is a column about the St. Louis Blues. I’m a St. Louis woman and I can’t resist writing this. We will return to the regularly scheduled Loyola Chicago content shortly.
Jan. 2, I was sitting on press row of Enterprise Center — home of the Blues. My favorite hockey team was in last place and I had pretty much written them off the rest of the season.
Fast forward — The Blues play for Lord Stanley’s Cup tonight. Five months ago, I would have never thought they’d be in this situation.
