The Blues began the 1970–71 season with high hopes after making a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in the 1969–70 season. They purchased Christian Bordeleau from the Montreal Canadiens, who led the team in scoring and finished in the top five in game winning goalshockey-reference.com, that season. They also sold Hockey Hall of Famer Jacques Plante to the Toronto Maple Leafs.St. Louis Blues History at blues.nhl.com,
