St. Louis Blues: Top 10 Single-Season Performances in Team History

Which Blues players have delivered the 10 most memorable performances in the history of the franchise?

Though the St. Louis Blues franchise has only existed since the 1967-68 season, it is undoubtedly one of the NHL’s most storied clubs. According to Hockey Reference‘s point share statistic (a metric similar to baseball’s WAR that is used to measure a player’s total value to their team), the Blues have had the good fortune of possessing 11 of the NHL’s 50 best players ever–Wayne Gretzky (1), Martin Brodeur (5), Al MacInnis (8), Glenn Hall (13), Jacques Plante (15), Phil Housley (17), Scott Stevens (19), Curtis Joseph (23), Brett Hull (31), Brendan Shanahan (36), and Chris Pronger (49)–at various points during the organization’s 48-season history.

With that high level of talent, Blues fans have had the opportunity to see some pretty impressive single-season performances over the years. While some of those stars listed above have been major catalysts within the space of a particular year, we’ve also seen guys (Brad Boyes, anyone?) who have played out of their mind for a season or two, then gone on to be little more than role players over the remainder of their respective careers.

Whatever the case, a historically good season from a particular player is always fun for the fans and the rest of the team, so we’re memorializing the 10 best individual single-season performances from Blues players here.

Here’s our ranking of the top 10 single-season performances in Blues history:
