Five years ago, if you would’ve told someone that St. Louis’ 2019-2020 season home opener would involve two consecutive Stanley Cup winners in the Capitals and Blues, they would’ve had two reactions: one, “why do you think I care what the Blues’ 2019 home opener is going to be” and two, “can I have some of what you’re drinking.” The Capitals and Blues were two of the longest suffering franchises going into last season’s playoffs, and then the Caps won the 2018 Stanley Cup and Ovechkin started a two month bender. Maybe, just maybe, there’s hope, many Blues fans thought.
