Top 15 Playoff Performers in St. Louis Blues History

4. Bernie Federko

91 games (1977-89), 35 goals, 66 assists (all-time best in Blues playoff history), 83 penalty minutes, four game-winning goals

Though he may not have been a flashy goal-scorer, Federko was one of the most dynamic offensive playmakers in Blues history, and he didn’t back down on the big postseason stage. Federko is one of just three players in Blues history (along with Brett Hull and Doug Gilmour) to play in 30 or more postseason games with the team and average more than a point per game, and considering that he played 52 more playoff games with the Blues than Gilmour did, he’s in quite the exclusive club.

Federko’s most notable postseason performance came in 1985-86, when he tied with Gilmour for the team lead in playoff points (21) as the Blues came within one game of advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals. It should also be noted that during two postseasons where the Blues were a bit less successful, 1980-81 and 81-82, Federko still managed to be insanely productive, scoring 18 points over 11 games and 18 in 10, respectively.

Perhaps most importantly, Federko was extremely durable, contributing to 11 playoff runs with the Blues and recording at least one point during each of those postseasons. He ranks second all-time in both franchise postseason games played and points, trailing only Hull, and he has 16 more postseason assists than the next-best (Hull, unsurprisingly), a record that will almost certainly never be broken in today’s NHL, which features much more player movement and much less scoring.
