St. Louis Blues 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
The St. Louis Blues are fighting to avoid being home for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive season. St. Louis is on its third coach in two years with Jim Montgomery, who replaced Drew Bannister after a 9-12-1 start. Monty had a solid start to his tenure with a 14-9-3 start and has the Blues within playoff position in the Western Conference. Despite the improvement by the Blues, nailing down a playoff spot will not be easy. St. Louis is an inconsistent team on both ends of the ice and lacks a dominant, finishing scorer. Additionally, Jordan Binnington peaked as a goaltender during the epic 2019 Stanley Cup championship run.

St. Louis Blues History
The St. Louis Blues were part of the NHL 1967 “Great Expansion” when the league doubled from 6 to 12 teams. The Blues made the Stanley Cup Final in their first three seasons by winning the “West” Division comprised of the six expansion teams. As a result, the Blues started leading the entire NHL in attendance for most of their first decade of existence. St. Louis finally won its first Stanley Cup in 2019, which set off a celebration that matched anything the baseball Cardinals ever had.
Now, St. Louis is firmly established as one of the great legacy franchises in the NHL. Past marquee men of the Blues include Jacques Plante, Glenn Hall, Red Berenson, brothers Bob and Barclay Plager, and Brett Hull. Hull’s arrival jumpstarted a franchise mired in mediocrity, and the Blues have had a big league feel ever since.
St. Louis has found a combination of stability and consistency with chairman Tom Stillman and general manager Doug Armstrong. Armstrong has done a masterful job of keeping the team a contender while navigating the salary cap and free agency challenges.
Most important of all, Armstrong delivered the Stanley Cup banner that had painfully eluded this franchise.
The Stanley Cup championship was the final piece of the credibility puzzle for the Blues. The franchise has always had a large, passionate, and generational fan base. Tradition and history have been a leading part of the franchise’s culture from the start. But now that a Stanley Cup championship banner hangs from the rafters, a long-sought legitimacy is complete.
