Turgeon, Pronger, Mellanby, Nash, MacInnis, Conroy, Courtnal, Tkachuk, Drake, Jackman, Hull (to an extent)...... Demitra. All those guys are guys I think about when I think of the Blues of that era, but none of them represented the embodiment of the St. Louis Blues like Pavol Demitra! You were always one of my favorite Blues! God Bless Pavol! R.I.P. Pav! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family!

To Pavol's wife and kids,
About 10 or 11 years ago I used to work at Wolf Camera in Chesterfield mall and I remember one day when you all came in to drop off your film to get your pictures developed and when you came back in to pick up your pictures I was more than excited to see Pavol his wife and if I remember right....his son. Those pictures today are priceless- long live #38
