For Blues fans, especially fans of the team during the 2000s, Keith Tkachuk is beloved. Big Walt, who played for the Blues from 2001-2010, with a brief layover in Atlanta for the Thrashers’ failed 2007 playoff run, is a heart and soul guy. He cleared the crease and went to the front of the net with a level of dedication that saw him wind up with a fractured jaw and the nickname Puddin’. A worthy inductee into the US Hockey Hall of Fame, Tkachuk is a mentor to a new generation of Blues, and was in the alumni box as the Blues won their first Stanley Cup.
