Let’s Talk Jordan Staal

Via Kukla's Korner  |  April 30, 2012
via Bob McKenzie tweets, There’s a lot of Jordan Staal talk, where his long-term home is (PIT or elsewhere?). Being a year from UFA means he’s driving the bus. PIT can’t get full market value in trade for J Staal if he’s one and done in the new locale. So Staal ultimately ends up wherever he wants. I wouldn’t be surprised if all three Staal brothers eventually want to...

Should the Edmonton Oilers go after Jordan Staal?

Via Hockey Fan Land  |  April 30, 2012
David Staples of the Edmonton Journal recently asked: Should the Edmonton Oilers trade their first overall selection for Jordan Staal?   Having the first overall selection for the third year straight gives the Edmonton Oilers a ton of options. I think adding a player of Jordan Staal's caliber would be a good thing for the Oilers. Staples point out all the reasons why:"...

Richard Cloutier: Johansen, Staal and The Russian Non-Factor

Via HockeyBuzz  |  May 01, 2012
Once in a while when I listen to local sports radio I wonder how the hosts survive their job. There was all sorts of stupid talk in Edmonton on Tuesday regarding Blue Jackets center Ryan Johansen, Pittsburgh's Jordan Staal, and what the "Russian Factor" means to potential Oiler Nail Yakupov. I'll deal with all three separately. Johansen to Oilers Look, I'...

Who Should Be Traded, Malkin or Staal...Really?

Via Steel City Sports Report  |  May 02, 2012

2012 Penguins Regular Season Awards

Via The Sports Jags  |  May 03, 2012
The Penguins have been golfing for almost two weeks now and tt sucks that the rest of the playoffs are still going on. But hey, as long as the Flyers don’t win the Cup, we’ll get over it. Hopefully this will help keep the Pens’ morale up over the summer. With 82 games in the books, the Jags and their team of hockey experts (Pierre McGuire did not make the cut) have compiled...

Flyers Hot In Philly

Via Kukla's Korner  |  May 03, 2012
from Frank Seravalli of Frequent Flyers, After dispatching the Pittsburgh Penguins in Round 1, the Flyers have captured the city of Philadelphia. Or, at least that’s what the ratings say. We’ve already noted that the NBC ratings for Game 1 against New Jersey on Sunday were up 121 percent from last year’s Game 1 against Boston. But the numbers from Game 2 were truly staggering...

Oilers shouldn’t waste time offering No. 1 pick for Staal

Via The Sports Jags  |  May 01, 2012
Ever since David Staples’ piece about the Oilers trading their No. 1 overall draft pick for Jordan Staal came out on Saturday, Penguins fans have been doing one of two things. They’ve either already ordered their tickets to the NHL Draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh so they can watch the Pens make the first overall pick or they’ve been sending death threats to Ray Shero...
