Pavol Demitra has yet to have his number 38 hung in the rafters of the Enterprise Center after being a key offensive cog in several dominant St. Louis Blues teams. It might be time to change that.
Just a few weeks ago, the Blues announced that former captain and Hart Trophy winner Chris Pronger would get his number 44 retired after nine years in the Note. The fact that the Blues are retiring their most significant player of the early 2000s, on top of the fact that we just bagged a Stanley Cup, means it’s time to finally recognize the teams that let us down so badly in the playoffs – this includes retiring the number of their biggest offensive threat.
