One of the great mysteries of this board is why we're willing to give breaks to third liners who couldn't score in a women's prison with a fistful of pardons, but we continue to "call out" the guys who are putting points on the board because they don't *look* like they're trying hard enough. Or they're taking penalties. When E. Staal is around the puck as much as he is, and when he's working the boards as hard as he does, he's going to get his stick up on somebody every now and then. He's going to get his stick in somebody's skates every now and then. I will *gladly* take his minor penalties in exchange for his offensive production.
If you want to get on somebody, there's no shortage of candidates. But E. Staal, Semin and Tlusty aren't among them. It's pure madness that we even have to deal with this with the season the guy is having. He's a freakin' MVP candidate for heaven's sake. What do you people want?
