Bernie Federko is the best Blues player in history. For non-Blues fans, this may seem as a surprise. But for Blues fans, it's anything but.
Federko is the leader for nearly every major offensive category the Blues have. Federko is first in games played (927); points (1,073), and assists (721). He is second in goals (352); hat tricks (11); power-play goals (116), and fourth in game-winning goals (40).
Federko's playoff stats are just as impressive, as he is second in points (101), goals (35), and first in assists (66).
The Blues had been sold, and if the team continued to spiral downward, they would move. But because of the success that Federko and his teammates saw, the team went on a climb in the standings.
Federko was the best two-way player the Blues had, and he was awarded the captaincy in his last season as a Blue.
His number was retired by the Blues in 1991, and Federko was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2002.
Federko was a leader on the Blues, and he kept the team in St. Louis.
He gave everything he had to the team, and it showed in his play.
Those are the reasons why Bernie Federko is the best player in Blues history.
