Top 15 Playoff Performers in St. Louis Blues History
While we’re in the midst of a Blues playoff frenzy, we thought it’d be fun to highlight some of the top postseason performers in franchise history.
With most of St. Louis now stricken with a serious case of the playoff fever now that the Blues have defeated the Chicago Blackhawks and advanced to the second round of the postseason for the first time since 2012, plenty of fans are starting to reminisce about some of the franchise’s more successful playoff runs throughout its first 48 seasons. Though the Blues still have never won a Stanley Cup, they’ve been one of the NHL’s most reliable clubs in terms of advancing to the playoffs, having gotten to the “second season” 40 times.
With so many great Blues postseason performances having fallen through the cracks of history because of the franchise’s inability to win a Cup, we thought it’d be nice to relive some Blues history by paying tribute to the 15 best playoff contributors in franchise history. 353 skaters and 33 goalies have seen postseason action for the Blues, so it was quite the tough task to cut down to a group of 15 who have been most influential throughout the franchise’s 40 postseason appearances. Check out the group we came up with:
