The kid from Michigan did it a few years back in a game, and that was the first time I saw it.

I would say I've probably seen it in highlights a dozen or so times. Sometimes internationally, sometimes in juniors (I believe Crosby done it in his draft year), but I can't remember even seeing a guy try it in the NHL.

They're the most skilled players in the world; I bet upwards of 10 guys per team have that move in their repertoire.

I remember Don Cherry showing a clip of a tough guy (Chris Simon I think) delicately picking pucks up like that and dropping them into a bucket.

Sometimes you scratch a guy to send a message and he comes back and plays better. Other times you scratch a guy and you realize you shouldn't be playing him at all. What do you do now?

Knowing the Rangers they put Staal back in because they have some unexplained loyalty to guy who hasn't been good in 4 years.

They just talked about Staal being a healthy scratch and idiot Pierre talks about how he's blocked a lot of shots in his career and is probably sore.

The defense as a whole just looks so much more mobile and able to move the puck without Staal. It’s night and day. Every pairing can move the puck quickly to create space for the forwards.
Yupp. In my d-men, I want hockey IQ and at least one of mobility or puck-moving ability. Staal had neither.

Confusing Staal for Girardi again.

Staal serves as proof that at some point you just become a #vet and your individual qualities don't matter.
