St. Louis Blues Hockey Legends

Since the very beginnings of the Blues franchise in 1967, the Plager name has been prominent. Barclay, Bob, and Billy Plager all played for the Blues, and were all on the team together for a time. The brothers have all passed, so we asked Barc's son Kevin and Bobby's daughter Melissa to remember their fathers...and their uncle. It's all about family and the Blues with the Plagers. Enjoy!

The Arena on St. Louis' Oakland Avenue was a special place, and the original home of the St. Louis Blues. Of course, it hosted much more than professional hockey. It was "the old barn" to many. And the nickname had a reason behind it. We remember the St. Louis Arena...and tell some stories about it...from its beginning to its end. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A Victoria, BC native, Geoff Courtnall had two stints with the Blues. A short one in '90 before the ill-fated multi-player deal with Vancouver, and another longer run in the mid-to late 90s after signing as a free agent. A gritty, do-whatever-it-takes-to-win type, he endeared himself to Blues fans, and frustrated them as an opponent. In this episode, he remembers the amazing "run the goalie" play in a '98 playoff game against the LA Kings. And we know you'll enjoy his off-ice stories too.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Jeff Brown-- a Blues star of the 1990s who still holds some of the offensive team records for a defenseman. Only Hull and Oates had more scoring points during the Blues ‘90’-91 season. After his playing days, Brownie became a highly-respected coach piloting several non-NHL teams to championships, and has been instrumental in developing young St. Louis players into NHL talent.
