The Blues were lucky to have Bobby Plager, and so was St. Louis. RIP

My overriding passion during our Cup winning series, was to win the Cup while Bobby was still around to enjoy it.
Bobby, thanks for all the great memories! You will forever be a legend in Blues hockey! RIP #5 on the jersey, #1 in our hearts! 😢

Especially with us old bastards, who watched him play for so long, it's a real gut wrencher. Hard to imagine Blues hockey without our #1 cheerleader around. Damn!

When you look at that accident it doesn’t look bad...it makes me wonder if he had a heart attack or something which caused the accident. This just hurts ..

That was my first thought when I saw the KMOV footage. Black 'n' blue arm bands are in order for this one.

True. As much as I admired Musial and Gibson, their passing didnt hit me nearly as hard as #8 and #5.
Those guys were the soul of the Blues. They set tne standard these guys will be trying to reach for years to come. Guess I'll dust off my copy of Tales From The Blues Bench tomorrow and reread it for the umpteenth time.

I remember watching that ceremony from a hotel on a work road trip. Bawled my eyes out.

Just awful. Absolutely terrible news. I had the opportunity to talk to him a few times, and he was every bit as kind and funny as people often say about him. RIP.

Yep. Same fate as Lynn Patrick when he was leaving a Blues game.

I was at the game and there wasn't a dry eye in there SPECIALLY when Barc's flag went down
