Staal's just want to have fun. Oh and STAY IN PITTSBURGH.

Ladie's and Gentlemen say hello to your 3rd line Center (and more since he's found some wing time and happy with it) for the next 4 years, yes I said it, 4 years.



Jordan mother f-ing Staal.

So everyone who said "Oh man Staal is definitely going in the trade" and "Staal and Tanger are being traded for Kovalchuk" can sit down and shut up.

Everyone is thinking way to irrationally about the trade's and who were willing to give away to get a winger for Crosby.

I'd rather have depth 3 lines deep and 6 amazing defensemen then an amazing top line, weaker lines the rest of the way through and a defenseman who is a liability when on the ice (cough, cough Boucher and Eaton) all because we decided that players like Staal, Letang, and TK are deemed expendable because we need a winger.

Pretty much all can be put to rest now that TK and Staalsy are re-signed.

Predators tonight.

C'mon boys, let's get 2 wins in a row so all the bandwagoners can stop shitting their pants, and throwing you under the bus.

My projected lines for tonight, basically it's not going to look like this, but this is how I think it should be.

Dupuis*-Crosby-Kennedy
Satan-Malkin-Sykora
Talbot-Staal-Cooke
Godard-Jeffrey-Wallace

Orpik-Whitney
Goligoski-Letang
Scuderi-Gill*

*Possibly injured/oh shit that's not good.

And like I said Staal's just want to have fun!
