St. Louis Blues Mount Rushmore Would Be Impressive

The St. Louis Blues might not have the length of history other teams do, but they have plenty of greatness in their past. With that in mind, let us start a friendly debate about who would be on your Blues Mount Rushmore.

The St. Louis Blues have never won a Stanley Cup. That painful fact is already well known by fans of the organization and rubbed in our noses by rivals at every turn.

Not winning a championship does not mean your team and franchise does not or did not have great players. Look at other sports. Some of the best players in history never won.

Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl. Karl Malone and John Stockton never won a title together because they kept running into the Bulls. For years the Chicago Cubs had teams with players more individually talented than the one that won in 2016, but could never put it all together.

The same is true of the Blues. Whether it’s the teams of the late 60’s or mid 80’s or late 90’s/early 2000’s, the Blues had plenty of great players. They just couldn’t find that little bit extra, as a team, to win the big one.

Still, there are plenty of guys that were all-timers. So, in honor of Independence Day, why not think of who would belong on the Blues version of Mount Rushmore?

It’s an intriguing discussion because it forces you to examine what you value most. You can only pick four names, so the choices between certain players get tough.

Of course, there will be names that jump out to everyone right from the get go. Those final selections will differ greatly between older and younger fans, those that value scoring or defense or those that want goaltening in there.

So, let the fireworks begin.
