from Chris Pinkert of the St. Louis Blues' website,

At Bellerive Gardens Cemetery, a blue and gold flag bearing the St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup Champions logo flapped gently in the wind and marked the spot where Barclay Plager is buried.

Melissa Plager, daughter of Blues legend Bob Plager, placed the flag there back in June to let her uncle know that the Blues - the team both Bob and Barclay cherished so much and always represented with such pride - had finally done it.

On Sunday evening, Bob returned to visit his brother for the first time in awhile. And this time, he brought the Stanley Cup.

"I thought about him a lot," Bob said of Barclay following the Blues' Game 7 victory against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden. "Barc and Jimmy Roberts and Al Arbour, the Solomons, there are so many Blues up there enjoying this. If you think we're going to party down here, they're partying up there, too."

You won't find many people the Blues' Stanley Cup title has more meaning to than the Plagers.
