Robinson returns to role as Senior Consultant to Hockey Operations

ST. LOUIS - Larry Robinson's time behind the Blues' bench has come to an end.
Robinson had been serving as an assistant coach with the Blues since late November, filling a role that became vacant when Craig Berube was named the Blues' head coach on Nov. 19.
Robinson will return to his role as the Blues' Senior Consultant to Hockey Operations, a position he's held since September 2017.

"Larry has been around for a long time, coaching and playing, obviously. He had great success over the years of his playing and coaching career," Berube said. "He brings a lot of insight on the game for us. He was very good for us. As coaches and players, we really enjoyed him and we'll miss him for sure."
Robinson's move was expected. In November, when Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong originally announced that Robinson would be filling in behind the bench, Armstrong said he expected Robinson would be coaching for "three weeks to a month." Robinson served on Berube's staff for 15 games.
Over the course of his career as a player, coach and executive, Robinson won nine Stanley Cups and made 13 Stanley Cup Final appearances. He coached the New Jersey Devils to three championships: 1995, 2000 and 2003.
Robinson played in 1,384 regular-season games and 227 playoff games in a 20-year playing career with the Montreal Canadiens and the Los Angeles Kings. He recorded 958 regular-season points, which ranks ninth all-time among defensemen in NHL history. He won the Norris Trophy as the League's best defenseman in 1977 and 1980 and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the League's playoff MVP in 1978.
He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1995.
Robinson, a three-time NHL All-Star, is the League's all-time leader in plus/minus (+730).
