Episode 248: Do Svidaniya
from Two Guys One Cup Hosted by Two Guys One Cup Podcast
The era of Vladimir Tarasenko in St. Louis is over. He's been traded to New York Rangers. In 644 career games with St. Louis, Tarsenko finished fifth all-time in goals scored with 262, as well as fifth in points with 553. He graced the cover NHL 17, was a two-time All-Star, notched a 40-goal season in 2015-16. Throughout it all, he was a consummate professional, devoting his time on and off the ice to the city and community he loved. No one will ever forget his heart-warming relationship with pediatric cancer patient Arianna Dougan, which brought more light to the scourge of pediatric cancer. Eventually, the organization "Spread Ari's Light" was formed in her honor (donation link included below) Vova realized his ultimate dream of bringing a Stanley Cup to St. Louis in the summer of 2019. Though the relationship may have soured since then, he is and remains a franchise legend and will receive nothing but love in this podcast. Once, in his article for The Player's Tribune, Vladdy wrote: "I came to St. Louis five years ago. I was a little scared. But here, I have found home. Thank you." Though St. Louis might no longer be his hockey home, here's hoping it remains his true home for a long time to come. Do Svidanya, Vladdy. All the best in New York.
