[Tarasenko cont’d: “Whatever people say in the media, we always love the city. We always appreciate all the effort, all the support the club and the fans and friends gave us … teammates, everybody. The city, the fans, will be in our hearts forever.”](https://twitter.com/jprutherford/status/1644181509367111681?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
Oh my heart
Pretty standard quote after an athlete returns to the city they played in for so long, but still cool to read!
Hated seeing him go.
He was my favorite Blue since Hull and helped bring our first Cup home – he will forever be a legend in St. Louis. Sometimes I hate the business side of sports, but that’s the way it goes.
[Tarasenko on tribute: “This was a very emotional moment for me. Thank you very much to the whole community. I don’t talk very much since the trade, but all the support they give us through those 11 years was unreal. I always loved the fans. So it was very, very emotional for us.”](https://twitter.com/jprutherford/status/1644179968459415553?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
