More later but who was saying Staal was slumping????
Are you so sure the crappy canes will win the cup now buddy? haha. Even with Jussi in net we’re still going to win it.
Still he ended minus one on the night despite 2 goals and an assist - on the ice for all four Oilers goal. He’d have contributed more if he had played both ends of the ice and didn’t just stand around waiting for someone else to set him up for a scoring chance. And maybe if he’d made more than a halfassed swipe at the errant pass in the OT, the Canes might have been skating the puck in front of 19,000 screaming fans instead of maybe - I repeat maybe, in front of a handful of Edmontonians who were waiting for the beer buzz to wear off before heading home. When Staal starts playing both ends of the ice, I’ll start believing he’s a superstar.
