The NHL Playoffs begin tonight, and Blues fans may be lamenting their team's third straight season out of the playoffs.  However, they could adopt a playoff team that has former Blues on their rosters.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks have Chris Pronger and Doug Weight, the Edmonton Oilers have Marty Reasoner, the Calgary Flames have Craig Conroy and Curtis Joseph, the Boston Bruins have Dennis Wideman, and the Minnesota Wild has Pavol Dimitra. 

The Ducks are the 4th-seeded team in the Western Conference, as they begin their defense of the Stanley Cup in earnest.
