Pre-Game Talk: Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Rangers 2/29/16

If Staals production has been down this season and he has been playing wing I agree that we should see what he brings as a third line center where he probably is at his best. I do also feel Hayes is terrible as a winger too. So not sure how long they go with that.

Same can be said of the English language. lol

The same could be said about the English language. lol What you said amused me a lot!

Anyway, Miller could grind the boards if E. Staal returned to center.

Hey English is my second language, the problem is; it's also my first. I can butcher it with the best.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Staal will be playing center. This is going to be exciting, he's pumped to play and pumped to win. Eric also said he's never played with Marc on the same team in their entire lives, so I'm also kind of excited for them tonight to play together. Might be a huge moral boost for both of them, and ultimately, the team.

Thinking the same thing...

Always bittersweet to see CBJ, because I was such a big fan of Dubi and Toots. With that said, looking forward to eStaal's first game. I've got a good feeling about tonight.

 

[Kokoschka]

EStaal with a goal tonight. You'll see. 4-2 Ranger win.

 

[Loff]

Keep Torts winless.

You guys think Stepan is moving to wing or AV goes with Brass-Step-Staal down the middle?

I don't think JT-Brass-Zucc should be touched so the question would really be which wings playing where. I'm thinking AV is going to stick him between Lindberg and Hayes. It definitely gets more interesting when Nash is back.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Keep Torts winless.

Torts has won games as CBJ coach. huh?

 

[Krams]

Meh, I don't much buy into the idea that Marc/Eric playing together is going to have any significant impact. It reminds me of how excited some were for the reunion of MSL and Richards.

 

[Loff]

Winless in games against us since he got the boot... He lost both games when he coached Vancouver.

 

[Jackpot]

Brothers from different mother's?

It's different..... It's blood, family etc...

Staal is going to have a bad game, board will overreact.

Staal is going to have a good game, board will overreact

Hard to say with AV lol but I would imagine they roll with those 3 down the middle and Lindberg and Hayes at wing.

Brass
Step
Staal

Although I would be inclined to go with:

Brass
Staal
Step

Staal is a better skater than Stepan is and is more offensively gifted.

Stepan is a pretty damn good #3, you have to admit.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Ah stepan back to his natural 3rd line center.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Staal is going to have a good game, board will overreact

EStaal has a nice game where nobody does anything rash and is happy wit h the outcome of the game

I hope.

 

[aufheben]

Staal at center? Maybe Stepan becomes the #2RW after all this time.

 

[haveandare]

Only issue with Staal at C is that Hayes is just starting to play well, and it's at C.

I don't know about other brothers but when me and mine played on the same team we motivated each other through im playing better then you wake the hell up
