...to start planning ROR’s #90 being retired to the rafters? It’s pretty much a no brainer at this point.

He is a beast. I'm normally pretty reserved about retiring numbers but I'd love to see #90 hanging up there one day and we will probably see it.

Closest thing to Doug Gilmour that the Blues have found. Complete player. Instinct and all.

Was telling Mattyice here at work how ROR kind of mimicks Faulk with the Rams. Good player when he got here, but reached notoriety status immediately in St. Louis, Championships and all.

There's a bunch of Buffalo fans getting ready to form a lynch mob. News at 11, lol.

Yeah ROR should get to have his number in the rafters in the Lou. What a career turn around just one summer/trade was produced.

If the Blues are retiring #90 I hope it's for Nakita Soshnikov

LOL, he was a beast those 17 games he played for us over two seasons!

And for the record, he was #86 when he last played for the Blues :)

ROR getting the love today, that's for sure. And well deserved as this tweet points out:



That is just pure dominance when on the ice for #90. Wow.

O'Reilly and Schenn are the best one two punch the Blues have ever had.
