Staal Family: The Next Sutters
Jordan Staal, the 18 year old Center for the Pittsburgh Penguins, is my favorite Pens player, other than “God on Ice” Crosby and Mario Lemieux. Jordan was drafted second overall in the 2006 Entry Draft. The Staal family is the new Sutters of the NHL. The oldest, Eric plays for the Carolina Hurricanes and is on the cover of NHL ’08. Marc, 20, is the Captain of the Sudbury Wolves and was drafted by the NY Rangers 12th overall, in 2005. Marc is a defenseman. The youngest Staal, Jared, is 17 and will play with Marc in Sudbury, in the Ontario Hockey League.
Recently, Jordan and Eric have gotten into some “trouble” at Eric’s Staal’s bachelor party. The boys were a little too loud and drunk at a Resort in Minnesota and got arrested along with 12 other party members. Ten of the 14 at the party have accepted the plea bargain offered by the Cook County Court, in Marais, Minnesota. Jordan is waiting for Eric to come back from his honeymoon. They will then decide what to do, with the help of their agent Paul Krepelka.

Jordan Staal faces underage drinking charges, as well as the other disorderly conduct charges. However, Jordan is of legal age to drink in his native Canada. So, who really cares! He is a great NHL player, but he is still an 18 year old. Let boys be boys. He finished with 42 points in his rookie season with the Pens. The Staal family will survive this “incident” and will continue to dominate the NHL for the next twenty years like the six Sutter brothers did in the 70s and 80s. The Staal name will be implanted in hockey fans memory.
Jordan Staal will be even better in his sophomore year. He will help the Penguins dominate the NHL. Eric Staal will continue to lead the ‘Canes with the help of Eric Cole, Marc and Jared will be a tandem force to be reckoned with in the OHL.
Staal Family welcome to Hockey Greatness.

7 or 8 years from now, it’s going to be really interesting to see the NHL with 4 Staals playing at once (perhaps sooner) at a high level.
As far as the drinking goes, everyone will blow a negative story about the NHL out of proportion as much as they can to justify how irrelevant the league is in the United States.
Great post, I can’t wait for hockey season to begin.

There is one problem I have with your post. Mario Lemieux is a big asshole. He pretends like he cares about the penguins and Pittsburgh. Really, he follows the money and was more than ready to move the team. Try to get an autograph from the guy, and he will act like it is the end of the world. The faster that dick sells the team, the better. Good Riddance.

You know, I’ll never understand why a certain segment of the Pittsburgh population has such hatred for Mario. Of course he’s going to look out for his financial interests, he’s not a monk that has committed his life to poverty for the good of Pittsburgh. He’s done everything in his power to keep the Pens here and has done it pretty much singlehandedly. If Mario Lemieux killed my dog, you know what I’d say? I’d say, “don’t worry about it, you saved hockey in Pittsburgh MULTIPLE TIMES”.

Kevin, I have to disagree totally with your first comment. I actuallly met Lemiuex and received is autograph. He did not mind at all. He was at RMU Island Sports Center golfing with his son and I went up when I was about 13 years old and asked him for his autograph. He gave me one and was nice about.

My cousins play ball with his kids now. Whenever they do, either he hides by the door, or stands by his car, so he has an easy escape route. In one instance, an eight year old kid walked toward him, and he ducked into his car to avoid a prospective herd of little autograph seekers. I have no problem with his financial interests, but I don’t appreciate all the pretense about saving hockey in Pittsburgh. I also have no problem with Mario as a player, except his last comeback which was most likely a ploy to put people in the seats. Also, he loves saving hockey so much, then he should lower ticket prices so they could fill the rink, that along with the excellent product on the ice now, would keep hockey here forever. From my understanding, as well, Penguins ownership was the one stonewalling on the talks about the new arena. To reiterate, Mario was an amazing talent and one of the top five hockey players of all time, but I would appreciate it if these stars stop trying to run sports clubs. Jordan can’t do it, Isiah Thomas can’t do it, Larry Bird can’t do it. We shall see about Gretzky, when he isn’t enabling his wifes gambling. Jay, I have no doubt that your experience was totally true, but he is a different person now.

Now, get me right, nothing has to do with him being a player, and he may have indirectly saved the team in the eighties, and when he bought the Pens in the first place, that was noble, but when the goings got tough, he got ready to run. IMHO, he save hockey in Pittsburgh, like Kevin McClatchey saved baseball in Pittsburgh. As for the current state of the team. The GM and Coaches are doing a fantastic job. It is the ownership , I have problems with.
For example, In 2006 many offers were made to buy the team, including one, by some Wall Street guy, Mt Lebanon native Mark Cuban, and Oakland native Dan Marino. Accepting that deal would have kept the pens it Pittsburgh, and ownership said no.
Let’s Go PENS
yours truly,
