Sweeping the Stars was epic.
Only 3rd appearance in the Conference Finals in the playoff streak with a full head of steam, that was an awesome feeling.

Re: Favorite sweep since 90
This shouldn't even be a contest.
Of those two series, it doesn't get any better than the Blues sweeping the Hawks in '93 at the height of the Blues-Hawks rivalry.
The Hawks finished with the best record in the league that year, and I believe the Blues qualified for the playoffs on the last day of the season.
And they were, at the time, bitter, bitter rivals.
Hull, Shanahan, Janney, Joseph, Brown, Emerson, Cavalini, Chase
vs.
Chelios, Roenick, Goulet, Graham, Larmer, Belfour, Marchment, Grimson
Joseph absolutely stood on his head in that series and pitched back to back shutouts in games 2 & 3...and then winning game four to clinch the series in overtime? Hull bumping Belfour? Belfour breaking his stick over the goal and yelling at Schick? Forget about it...best series ever.
That...and I was actually at game four.

Re: Favorite sweep since 90
Agree with Curt here. The Arena was an absolute madhouse, and Belfour's meltdown at the end was epic.
The last Blues game I attended at the Arena. I brought a friend to that game, and it was his first hockey game ever. I think it ruined all future games for him
