St. Louis only had the Hawks for 13 years. The Blues didn't become a thing until 1967, giving the Bruins time to play for the Cup ten times before they were even born. St. Louis actually has the longer history in the NFL, having nearly 50 seasons between the Cardinals and the Rams, but very little to show for it. Especially the Cardinal years. The best and most direct competition between the two cities is right where you would expect it to be, in baseball. And, you can see, that comparison is eerily similar. After the last two Red Sox wins over the Cardinals, though, I'm sure St. Louis is very eager to strike back against the Bruins.
