Red Wings vs Blues Rivalry Fried Facts

The Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues have a long-standing rivalry in the NHL, with plenty of heated moments, memorable games, and intense playoff battles. Here are some fried facts (hot takes and interesting tidbits) about their history:

1. Original Six vs. Expansion Era

The Red Wings are an Original Six team (founded in 1926), while the Blues joined the league in 1967 as part of the first NHL expansion.

Despite being younger, the Blues quickly became a powerhouse in the 1970s, while Detroit struggled before rising again in the 1980s-90s.

2. Playoff Battles – The 1990s Grudge Matches

The two teams met four times in the playoffs between 1996 and 2002, with Detroit winning three of those series.

The 1996 Western Conference Semifinals was a 7-game war, with Detroit winning in double OT (Game 7) thanks to Steve Yzerman’s legendary slap shot.

The Blues got revenge in 1998, knocking out the defending Cup champs in the first round (4-2).

3. The Brett Hull Controversy

Brett Hull played for both teams—winning a Cup with Detroit (2002) after being a Blues legend.

Blues fans hated him for joining the rival Wings, but he got the last laugh by scoring 741 career goals (3rd all-time).

4. The Fight-Filled 1991 Brawl

A massive line brawl broke out in 1991, featuring Bob Probert (DET) vs. Tony Twist (STL) in an epic heavyweight showdown.

The game had 10 fights and 300 penalty minutes—one of the most violent in NHL history.

5. The Goalie Wars – Vernon vs. Joseph

In the 1996 playoffs, Detroit’s Mike Vernon and St. Louis’ Curtis Joseph had an iconic duel, with Vernon outlasting CuJo in Game 7.

Joseph later joined Detroit (2002-04), which felt like betrayal to Blues fans.

6. The 2000s – A Shift in Power

The Red Wings dominated the early 2000s (3 Cups between 1997-2008), while the Blues struggled.

St. Louis finally won their first Stanley Cup in 2019, while Detroit has been in a rebuild since their last title (2008).

7. Recent Matchups – More Fireworks

In 2019, the Blues beat the Wings 5-2 in their first meeting since St. Louis won the Cup.

The rivalry has cooled due to Detroit’s move to the Eastern Conference (2013), but old-school fans still remember the bad blood.

Final Thought:

The Red Wings vs. Blues rivalry was at its peak in the 1990s-early 2000s, filled with brawls, playoff drama, and legendary players. While not as fierce today, the history between these two teams is loaded with intensity.
