The St Louis Blues have had numerous quality fighters throughout their 52 years.  Today we will discuss the top five fighters to wear the Bluenote.

The St Louis Blues had a total of 14 fights in the 2018-2019 season.  In today’s NHL, fighting is almost a thing of the past.  So I am going to look to the past, to relive some of those great fighters.

You will always have the fans that feel there is no room for fighting in today’s game.  You will also have the fans that appreciate the art of fighting.

That group of fans sees fighting as a way to protect players while also policing the game.  In the past, if you took a run at Wayne Gretzky, you had to answer to Marty McSorley.

When it comes to all-time fighter lists, many opinions and factors can determine what supports that list.

Some fans judge a fighter by how hard they punch, their won/loss record, or how many knockouts they had.

I personally look at their number of fighting majors.  With this number, you can look at a couple of different scenarios.

I use these numbers to gauge how often someone was willing to protect a teammate, or possibly how often they used a fight to change the momentum.  The one thing that will get the crowd into a game faster than a goal is a fight!

In this article, I am going to discuss the Top Five Fighters in the history of the Blues.  For this article, we will be using fighting majors while wearing the Bluenote for our rankings.

First, let us start with the honorable mentions, number of fights while wearing the Bluenote in parenthesis: Cam Jansen (57), BJ Combreen (56) Ryan Reaves (56) Barret Jackman (50) and Perry Turnbull (49).

Now let us get to our top five fighters.
