The St. Louis Blues entered the National Hockey League in the 1967 expansion, when an entire division of six new teams were added to compete with the Original Six; the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Black Hawks, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers. In addition to the Blues, the other five members of the new division were the Pittsburgh Penguins, Los Angeles Kings, Oakland Seals (defunct since 1978), Philadelphia Flyers, and the Minnesota North Stars. Along with the Kings the Blues are the only ’67 expansion franchise that has yet to win the Stanley Cup. In fact, the Blues have yet to win a Conference Championship.

In the 38 seasons from 1967-68 to the 2004-05 lockout, the St. Louis Blues appeared in 35 playoffs, missing the post-season only three times: 1974, 1978 and 1979. Following the lockout the club missed the postseason for the first time in a quarter of a century. In 2007-08 the franchise missed the playoffs for a third straight season – the first such streak in club history.

On December 11, 2006, the St. Louis Blues released head coach Mike Kitchen, pulling the trigger on a gun that should have been fired at the end of the previous season, when the team finished with 57 points, worst in the National Hockey League. Kitchen was replaced by former Los Angeles Kings coach Andy Murray. Murray replaced Larry Robinson as head coach of the Kings in 1999 and stayed for seven seasons. He was fired during the 2005-06 season with the Kings headed for the golf course instead of the playoffs for the third straight season.

Murray salvaged the St. Louis Blues’ season, leading the team to third place in the Central Division and a 24 point improvement over the previous season. Though not good enough for the playoffs, it was progress. But 2007-08 proved a disappointment. The team finished 2 pts and 2 places lower, taking 5^th in the division and missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

The St. Louis Blues are in the Central Division of the 3-division Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
