ZapRowsdower8 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 So Jordan Staal had two goals tonight in the Pens 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets. Both of them being shorthanded. (The second also being on a penalty shot.) His only other goal this season, his first NHL goal, was also shorthanded. Think any other NHL player has ever started their career with a stat like that? Too bad he will be going to the minors after his 9 games are up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZapRowsdower8 Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks for catching my error. Peterborough is what I should have said. And I have to agree about him being a superstar down the road. Crosby-Malkin-Staal... (drool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Fluery, Crosby, Malkin, Staal look at the team the Penguisn are building. Whereever they will be playing in 5 years they are going to be a top team wiotha shot at the Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were so much fun to watch last year in person. I have some great pics of Downie and Staal from the games I was at and all three will be forces once they make the NHL on a full time basis, especially Downie. Man he has an amazing game.

And they shoul be sending Stall to juniors so they dont have to worry about possibly losing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperAirplane31 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 During a Rangers-Pens game on MSG one of the announcers said something like "the Penguins are getting a lot of young draft picks, so they're either gonna be really good, really soon or a lot of people are gonna be fired."Well it seems we know which one.

winters in buffalo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 The big question will be, "Can the Pens win the Cup before they blow their salary cap and have to start unloading players"?Also, in regard to the first post... I'm pretty sure penalty shots wouldn't count as a shorthanded goal. Impressive start, nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZapRowsdower8 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 I didnt think it would count as a SH goal either, but the PA Announcer at the game came on at the next stopage and said, "Credit Jordan Staal's second goal as a shorthanded goal."

Neon_Matrix Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Well, its official. According to TSN, hes staying with the Penguins which means he will never again don a Peterborough Petes jersey. Well, this is one of the better pictures I took of him last season during their dominating season. I'll miss seeing him in the maroon and white, but he does look good in the gold and black.

philly97flyer Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The big problem with the salary cap is it prevents you from building a young team from the ground up and keeping them together for some time. You know in 2-3 years when some of their contracts are up, teams are gonna come flying in with insane offers that the Pens just wont be able to match for all 3 of those guys. Its a shame, but thats the "new" NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmackman Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Here's a little math combined with my opinion. Let's see who agrees.
