MARC STAAL RUMORS & GOSSIP

ECF Game 6 goal breakdown

I have no words. This season left me with the most optimism I’ve ever had. But this loss stings. A lot. I got nothing for you. Actually. I have a “thank you.” I have a thank you to the New York Rangers. It’s been a long time since I’ve believed. This season ended with a less than desirable result, but I believe. I believe this team is destined for great...

With the exception of the Marc Staal hit, they haven't done that at all this series.Very reminscent of last series, when they said they were going to be physical with...

First off, this pic is awesome. But not as awesome as it's been watching Marc Staal slowly but surely become the Marc Staal of old.It hasn't been an easy return to the NHL for Staal, after missing the first three months of the season with post concussion syndrome. There was a lot of watching from the bench as other defensemen took his turn on the ice. He was no longer matched...

Where they could have failed: Staal and Sauer’s injuries

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A team that loses two of its top four defensemen for extended periods of time falters, and drops to mediocrity while dealing with the injuries. Oh wait, you didn’t hear that? That’s likely because the Rangers lost two of their top four defensemen, guys that were playing 20+ minutes a night last season, but they kept on trucking...

Marc Staal Quickly Returning to Form

Defenseman Marc Staal knew he was up for a challenge when returning to the Rangers lineup for the first time since last April on Monday during the 2012 NHL Winter  Classic in Philadelphia.
