Pat Maroon named 1st star after expected final game in St. Louis
St. Louis native Pat Maroon was named the first star of the game after his expected final appearance in his hometown on March 22. Maroon helped the Blues win their first Stanley Cup in 2019 and was born in Oakville.
Why didn’t the Blues try to resign him after the Cup victory? He was cheap and signed in Tampa for cheaper. What’s the true version of why they didn’t resign him?
Three Cups, that's something to be very proud of, even if only one with the 'Note. In retrospect, they could have given him that two-year extension he wanted. Oh well.
First LGB, great 5th win, and 6th at home. I'm a Life long Hawk-hater,,, but, this is just hockey at its finest…you guys are rebuilding strong, Just wait!!!!!
Growing up in Mehlville and Oakville a school in our district, it's a pleasure to have a hockey star living close! Thank you for bringing the Stanley cup to St Louis, and hope you enjoy your retirement! Let's go Blues
Side note, those were the worst interview questions you could possibly ask in the moment. Why not say, “Pat you grew up here playing hockey as a kid, winning a state title with oakville, you came back to St. Louis in 2019 to bring home a Stanley cup, it’s your last time playing the game you love in front of the people who have loved you your whole life. What do you have to say to them now?”
As a Preds fan, I hate the Blues and the Hawks, but this was a touching tribute. Classy move by the Blues. Grats Pat on your awesome career and your Stanley Cup in your hometown…. What a storybook ending.
Even though Patty M throws punches soft as pillows nowadays, you can’t argue his prior dominance in his peak as one of the best enforcers during the 2010s, and him winning the cup in 2019 as a part of the St Louis Blue as a St Louis native is quite an accomplishment… I never really was a big fan of yours, but here I tip my hat 🧢, I’ll give credit where credits due good sir, god bless you. Much love to Maroon!
You watch these guys like Patty Maroon play against your team and you despise players like him. One of those guys where you despise them playing against you but would love to have them on your team. He's one of them . Respect

Hofer was the 1st star of that game, but being that I was a high school kid from Oakville, I thought that this was GREAT!
THANK YOU PAT!! WE APPRECIATE YOU 💯👍🙏✌️
Hate that he's retiring a freakin Blackhawk, but all love for Maroon 💙💛💙💛
I've never forget him scoring that double overtime goal to knockout the Stars!
Love you Patty Maroon!!! And how awesome of the Blues to pay that kind of homage to him.
Classy i love it
I’m not crying, you’re crying!! Love the Big Rig!! Thank you for everything!!
Hawks fan here…class act move St Louis👏 I teared up seeing Patty getting emotional❤️🖤💙💛
What a legend!!
Would've made him take off that scumhawks jersey first
Three Cups, that's something to be very proud of, even if only one with the 'Note. In retrospect, they could have given him that two-year extension he wanted. Oh well.
What a classy great guy, love that guy.
Cheers from Boston. We all enjoyed Pat Maroon as a Boston Bruin. 🖤💛
It was an honor to be there and say goodbye to this legend.
引退表明直後の試合が古巣相手だったのがねぇ………。
Doug, please sign him to a one day contract so he can retire a Blue. Please?
We were so proud to be there. Big rig comes home, we will welcome him with open arms!
PLAY GLORIA
What's not to like about Big Rig? And he's won three Stanley Cups. Dude's a blue collar grinder, perfect for St Louis.
InB4 Armstrong signs Big Rig to the 1 day contract to have him officially retire in the Blue Note.
The Blues should sign him to a one day contract so he can retire a Blue.
Classy move by the Blues.

He's a hometown hero, baby.
Classy AF. St Louis is one of the best places in the league to go watch a game
Truly wish the Hawks could've done better for this man. Its been a pleasure to have him in Chicago, nothing but love.
Hopefully he will sign a 1-day contract with the Blues when the season's over to officially retire as one

This was very classy on the Blues. Especially since he’s playing for Chicago currently
Oh man, that was too awesome. Way to go St Louis Blues.

First class organization
He needs to sign a 1 day contract to retire as the Blues legend that he is.
We need to give him a 1 day contract…
