The St. Louis Blues lost a legend when Bobby Plager passed away on March 24. He died of a cardiac event during a car accident on Interstate 64 in St. Louis.
Bobby was more than just a hockey player who played alongside his brothers Bill and Barclay with the Blues from 1968 to 1972. He continued to work with the Blues in his post-retirement life, both in the front office as Vice-President of Player Development and for eleven games as coach. He loved St. Louis, and St. Louisans loved him. He was one of those former hockey players that you felt was a friend, even if you’ve never met him in person.
