Agreed, just like Fleury.
Without a doubt for both.
Yeah Fleury was team MVP, as he should but look how many "fans" wanted him gone it was laughable.
Lets not act like he has always been solid, he had a great run through the playoffs but certainly earned a seat on teh bench early in the season with the start he had and how Johnson looked early.
As a Flyer fan, I appreciate Staal a ton. Whenever he's on the ice, Crosby and Malkin usually aren't.
Actually, feel free to put Malkin back on instead.
The problem with Staal is he gets compared too often to the guy drafted right after him on top of his older brother. Different roles and situations, also when drafted there was a lot of talk of Staal to become a LW. So a big power forward winger was very valuable to the Penguins that had Crosby/Malkin(wasn't in Pitt yet)..
Hope your summer went well...back to coaching high school team has a good shot to make it to the state championship this season... Have a good one DBE...Back at you soon...
Good thing I taught you all about hockey over the last 5 years or so....
