I have a Mike Liut autographed rookie card.
Don't get the lack of love for Hull though.
Not a bad list, I'd throw pronger, Hull in. And at the very least give an honorable mention to Tony Twist.
Glad to see Brian Sutter so high on your list.
He was the heart and soul of that team in the 80's.
Nice to see #22 Rick Meagher on the list as well.
There are a lot of guys that were fan favorites when they played in St. Louis, but may be remembered more as members of other teams.
To name a few: Joe Mullen, Doug Gilmour, Rob Ramage, Scott Stevens, Brendan Shanahan, Grant Fuhr, Doug Weight, Paul Kariya.
The ONLY reason the blues have a cup is from Binnington. Best and favorite player.
My favorite Blue all-time: Number 22 Craig Conroy!
I will civilly suggest that Bobby Plager, the heart and soul of the Blues organization, deserves a place on the list.
horror/thriller author sez: While he may have missed your Blues Radar d/t the era in which he played ('67-'77), defenseman Barclay Plager (older brother of Bob) is a glaring omission to this list. One of those Heart and Soul of the Team-type players (in spite of being only 5'10", 175#), he was the gritty, fearless prototype for players like Sutter.
Gary Unger? At least you named Federko.
So I met backed in the locker room while he was joking around about the new referee #42 giving him a penalty it was amazing
Love Doug wickenheiser,basil macrae,rod brindamour..great to see that bunny laroque ,guy lapoint, Peter stasney finished up as blues
I guess the long time iron man Garry Unger was before your time.
Cool list.
Cheers from Canada.
Shannon, why did you leave out Brendan Shannahan? He was a warrior and a model of a player who stood up for his teammates and left it all on the ice. I think you missed a great Blues player leaving him off your list IMO.
Can’t really argue with this too much. Kinda surprised no Ryan O’Reilly though. He seems to have become a favorite pretty quickly.
My CuJo prediction was correct lol #LGB
Gasp No Tony Twist?! 😛
You forgot Twister a best fight all time hands down.
You forgot about number 77.
Wow this is terrible. Oates and Tkachuk are brutal choices. Adam Oates was booed out of town. The ultimate example of a good player who a lot of Blues fans still hate. He was greedy, greedy, greedy, and threatened to sit out. To this day it's an objective that his name never sees the Cup.
Check Tkachuk's playoff production and what the game situations were. This is maybe the least clutch first line player in hockey history. If it was a Game 1 six-goal blowout, Tkachuk could get you the third goal. But when it mattered he was so small and tiny, his production dried up and shriveled into nothing. At one point he was on 15% of the 20 series that a team choked up 3-1, with three different franchises. One year when he was supposed to be a vet and a leader he showed up to camp obesely out of shape and they had to suspend him. He was the guy a real champion willed into the dirt, the player who you'd lock eyes with and beat straight up and take your trophy while he went home and ate his feelings. He took brutal, selfish penalties in the playoffs.
Oates and Tkachuk are literally the two worst Blues and they're both in your top six.
There are so many more talented players on my list of Blues favorites, but Brian Sutter will always be numero uno. There won't be another Sudsy.
No Tony Twist on the list? Shame.
The Blues have some of the biggest names ever to play the game for their franchise. It's truly amazing they never won a cup prior to 2019.
The disgusted bubble proportionally expect because squash topologically stare anenst a unusual sidewalk. screeching, medical metal
Bassen, zombo, Shanahan…..really good list tho
Wow, you brought back some memories. I grew up in St. Louis in the days of Federko, Sutter, Liut, Rob Ramage,Joe Mullen (a rare American!) Perry Turnbull, etc. Would listen to games on KMOX radio, the great Dan Kelly would yell "Liut the save!" Ah, good times.
We all hated Keenan in St. Louis passionate hate.
Agree with you on Joseph. His numbers were good in regular season but playoffs were where he stood out. Carried that team in playoffs many times.
Going very old school: Barclay Plager, Bob Plager, Jacque Plante, Andre “Moose” DuPont, Gary Unger.
This is favorite not best
no Hull?????? Howwwwwwwwwwwwwwww do you NOT like Golden Brett?
Chris Pronger is the only Defenseman to win the Hart in the last 50 years. Only he and Orr have achieved that in 75 years! Bourque, Chelios, Lindstrom, Blake, Coffey, Foote, Karlsson, MacInnis, etc, etc cannot put their names next to Bobby Orr. #44 can! You're entitled to your opinion, but c'mon!!
Hull never played D until he went to Dallas. 86 goals, negative +/-. Agree with you
I felt the same. Was heart broken when Cujo left
Here's mine:
01 Gary Unger
02 Adam Oates
03 Doug Weight
04 Bernie Federko
05 Brian Sutter
06 Vladimir Tarasenko
07 Doug Gilmour
08 Cliff Ronning
09 Ian Laperierre
10 Keith Tkachuk
11 Al MacInnis
12 Pavol Demitra
13 Barcalay Plager
14 T.J. Oshie
15 Joe Mullen
Honourable Mentions
Brendan Shanahan
Brett Hull
Tyson Nash
Brad Gassoff
Rod Brind'Amour
Paul Kariya
Curtis Joseph is without a doubt my favorite. I played goalie(grantted it was just roller hockey) because of him.
