ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Matrix Midwest) - Glenn Hall, whose play in net was one reason why the Blues went to the Stanley Cup Finals in their first 3 seasons of existence, has died at age 94.
The NHL announced Hall’s death on Wednesday. Hall, nicknamed Mr. Goalie, played for the Blues from 1967-1971, the franchise’s first four years of existence, and led the team to the Stanley Cup Finals from 1968-1970.
In 1968, he was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, even though the Blues were swept by the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Finals.
He and fellow Hall-of-Fame teammate Jacques Plante split time in net in the 1968=1969 season and shared the Vezina Trophy, which is awarded to the league’s top goalie.
Hall played most of his Hall-of-Fame career with the Chicago Blackhawks and set the record for most consecutive starts in net with 502. He won the Stanley Cup with Chicago in 1961.
After he retired, he joined the Blues as goaltending coach. He was inducted in the Blues Hall of Fame in 2023.
