Cam Janssen played 336 NHL games over the course of nine seasons with the St. Louis Blues and the New Jersey Devils.
That accomplishment is a source of pride for Janssen and his hometown of Eureka, MO, which is located 30 miles southwest of downtown St. Louis. It's your typical local-boy-done-good story.
But the most interesting part of this tale - or is it tail? - is who Janssen credits for his success.
His cats.
