There will never be another soul quite like Bobby Plager. That’s a fact.
For being one of the most aggressive defenseman in St. Louis Blues history on the ice, Plager was the sweetest soul a fan could ever ask for away from it. How many athletes have you ever interacted with made you feel like Bobby did after a chat? Could you walk up to another former Blue, call him by his first name, and get such an easygoing smile?
If you saw him at the Enterprise Center before the game or at his restaurant Bobby’s Place afterwards, he would stop and talk hockey with you.
