Former Flame Martin St Louis having # retired by Tampa Bay.
A player that I would have been criticized for defending back in the dark days of the Flames not making the playoffs. "He was too small." "He can't play with Iggy." "Crappy defense." I can hear the choir now. This is why I love being a contrarian because in time things come out in the wash.
Signed as free agent in Tampa (Calgary got nothing). He then went on to be Tampa Bay's leading point getter, assist leader, GWG leader.
#26 in the rafters. Good job Marty!
