Staal is obviously going to need a couple of month's to get used to the visor. But its coming along fine apprantly. His brothers and sisters are supporting him through the gruelsome work of getting used to the visor. Aims a return in 2015 maybe? By then his JOFA shinpads will be outdated so he will miss a couple of more month's due to breaking in new ones.

I was assuming that but sometimes you never know with this fanbase :sarcasm:

Kind of went a little oveboard on the exaggeration there.

Haha, I was mostly joking (95%). ;)

He had a tough injury and I am sure he is doing his best to get back as soon as possible. Of course.

But sometimes if you make something an issue it becomes an issue. Taking time with concussion is a must, and should be a must, nowadays. What is Staal really taking time with here? I've seen players returned with smashed in faces within days before with a full cage. A concussion can give you a life long problem.

I don't get these comments. By his own admission his vision is not back to 100% yet.
 
You guys have got to be kidding with this.

His vision isn't 100% yet. This isn't a case when you have broken bones or stiches and can come back with a cage no questions asked.

Its his ****ing sight. Kind of important to quality of life. You don't screw around with that.
 
Yeah I'm not really sure why you (Ola) are talking about Staal "taking his time". He couldn't even see out of the eye after the incident and it's been slowly getting better. I'm not sure why you apparently expected him to put on a cage and go out and play while being unable to see out of one eye?

Not to mention at this point he's not in game shape so that takes another week or so of exercise to get ready

No of course, what can I say. There is nothing you can say.

He just seem uncomfortable to me. Scary injury and what not.

He regrets coming back when he did last season.
