2009 St. Louis Blues

Despite injuries to key players Paul Kariya, Jay McKee, Andy McDonald, Erik Johnson and Eric Brewer, the St. Louis Blues managed to end the 2008-09 season in the middle of the Central Division and secure a playoff berth. The 2009-10 season is starting off with a mostly healthy team (though Brewer is still healing), and the team added more depth by picking up defenseman Brendan Bell and forward Derek Armstrong. If the Blues were able to reach the playoffs last season without their key players, then a healthy squad can be expected to go deep into the playoffs at the very least.

The St. Louis Blues -- playing in downtown St. Louis, Missouri's Scottrade Center (formerly called the Savvis Center) -- are one of the most successful teams in the sporting world, having set a professional sports record by reaching the playoffs for the 24th consecutive year in 2002-2003. Organized in 1966, the Blues were an immediate success that season. Led by Hall of Fame coaching legend Scotty Bowman, the Blues reached the Stanley Cup Finals three consecutive times in their first three years. Nevertheless, the Blues are still shooting for their first NHL Championship.

Thanks to their successful run over the last quarter of a century the Blues have built some classic rivalries with the greatest teams in hockey. The Scottrade Center rocks, especially when rivals such as the Detroit Red Wings or Chicago Blackhawks come to town.

St. Louis is one of the country's foremost sports cities, playing home to the St. Louis Cardinals (Busch Stadium), always one of the teams to beat when baseball season starts in March; the NFL's Rams (Edward Jones Dome) are already neck-deep in their trek to the Super Bowl when the first puck is dropped for the Blues in October; St. Louis also has a devoted NCAA basketball following thanks to the St. Louis Billikens (who play at the Chaifetz Arena). Coast To Coast has great tickets for all these sporting events as well as for exciting live concerts and theater!
