4. Paul is missing something ... Stastny, 28, is still seeking his first Stanley Cup. And why not join the Blues' band of brothers who are desperate to get it done in St. Louis? Can you imagine what it would be like to win the Cup for the Blues? Yeah, it's been the impossible dream and all of that. But that's why it would be so remarkable, so special, a true once-in-a-lifetime event that would elevate every member of the team to forever-hero status in this town. If you like a challenge, Paul, this is it. But the reward would be so much greater here than in other places.

5. Along those lines: If hometown boy David Freese can do it for the Cardinals, a hometown boy can do it for the Blues … except this would be even bigger from the standpoint that the Cards have won 11 World Series, and the Blues are still pushing the forward in their eternal quest for that first Cup.
