Looking forward to seeing Staal play with the team! Excited to see where he slots in.

Klein's face in that vid....hahaha

He's one of the loudest "woooooooooooo!"-ers on the team.

Just gotta love that guy's fire and drive.

 

[Irishguy42]

TSN just said that Staal is skating with Lindberg/Hayes, with Hayes centering.

Anyone else happy where he scored that goal? Parked in front of the net.

not happy that no one was covering him!

Yup! Was just thinking of that. That's the area where u wanna score goals come tournament time.
Does staal have that physical element to his game? Being able to stay in front of net while taking whacks?

Yes he is a very gritty player with an edge.

Raanta in net.. so, no new backup G coming in today I assume?

 

[Raspewtin]

McIlrath at forward is still a thing. I really don't understand.

I don't see why, Staal has played wing most of this season and all 3 of our top 3 Cs are far better as centers than wings.

I totally agree. I dont wanna see Hayes at wing anymore. He belongs at center. What's wrong with staal on stepans wing helping with face-offs when needed?

 

[Ail]

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

Miller is be a strong board playing wing when used properly.

Rangers tied or down by 1 after the 1st: Sather has brainwashed Gorton, Dubinsky is Stralman with a beak, the team needs an unhinged coach like Torts!

Rangers up by 1 after the First: I have mortgaged my home / parent's home and sold my wife and children / parents into slavery for Stanley Cup finals tickets and and a week reserved at the Ritz-Carlton for the parade festivities!

Same can be said of the English language. lol
