The St. Louis Blues have had so many incredible coaches throughout their 58-year history. There have been 28 coaches to grace the back of the bench, and each has had their own impact on this franchise's footprint.
If you were to rank the top-three of all time, what would it look like. Let's find out.
3. Ken Hitchcock
At No. 3, it is Ken Hitchcock. He took over the Blues in 2011 and lasted 363 regular-season games behind the bench through the 2017 season. In terms of all-time records, he has a record of 224-103-36. That is the second-most wins in franchise history.
In his first season, when he took over for Davis Payne after 13 games in the beginning of the 2011-12 campaign, Hitchcock led the Blues to a first place finish in the Central Division. That helped secure his one and only Jack Adams Award.
2. Craig Berube
In second, it is Craig Berube. His main accolade is a potential argument as to why he should be the best coach in franchise history, but there is one more that helped shaped the Blues to the franchise they are today.
Berube led the 2018-19 Blues all the way to the Stanley Cup Final and defeated one of the best Boston Bruins teams in their franchise history. That certainly makes him worthy of the top two spots.
1. Joel Queneville
The best coach in franchise history belongs to Joel Quenneville. Even now, at 67 years old, he is still behind the bench and leading the Anaheim Ducks.
Queneville was the Blues' head man from the 1996-97 season, which was his coaching debut, through the 2003-04 season. He did not finish the season as the Blues' 25-year playoff streak was about to be missed, and he was let go.
With a record of 307-191-77-18, Queneville is the franchise's leader in wins. He is one of four Blues coaches to win the Jack Adams Award, which he won in 1999-2000.
