Fuck Yeah Jordan Staal: Family Helps Jordan Staal Recover →

Penguins center Jordan Staal’s season thus far has been gutted by freak physical problems — an infection in his right foot, then surgery after his right hand was broken by a puck in practice. But things got better the past week.

He went to North Carolina to visit his oldest brother, Eric, then…

On being part of the nucleus of a Penguins team that everyone could tell was rapidly improving: It was very similar to this Toronto team last year. We finished the end of the season very strong with a young group of guys who all got called up together and the next year we made the playoffs. We had a young group that came up together in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. We just grew together as a team. It reminds me of our situation (in Toronto). On missing out on the Penguins’ Stanley Cup victory: I don’t know. It was a few years after I was traded, which was nice. I knew the hype that was building. The team was getting better year after year and the city was getting more and more excited. I knew it was going to be pretty special. It was a great group of young guys.

first game at consol

Courtesy of the boyfriend as a birthday present (from July 23)
Offense started out terrible but picked up by the second period
Fleury was shaky— he made a few good saves but he let a lot of garbage through
Billy Guerin was in attendance and when they played a short dedication to him on the screen the whole place gave him a standing ovation
Just when I was getting very irritated with Kunitz he scored and all is forgiven
I really miss Staal.
I want Army back.
Deryk Engelland’s fight with Colton Orr was amazing — the whole place erupted as he wailed on the guy. Best fight I’ve seen live.
Sometime near the middle of the third period, a guy behind me yelled through the silence, “Are you guys gonna ever WIN in this place?” It was hilarious. You had to be there.
And my streak continues of never seeing the Penguins win live.
1 and 3. :(
