I can not imagine looking back at the Cup run and him not being there. People are correct that he was not the only one (Petro, Binner just to name two), but they were the glue that held that whole thing together.
His deflection of JBo's point shot in game 7 of the Cup Finals is forever etched in my mind. As is Petro's rush when Marchand left the ice, and Tank's peeking over his shoulder as he closed in on the puck and perfect pass to Schenn.
As is Emrick's call with about 12 seconds left, "and the Blues at the bench are realizing that they are going to be champions!" I still get a lump in my throat when I hear that call.
That was a great run for us, especially those of us old enough to think we would never see one. Great team effort, and it does not happen without ROR, for one.
