It's Staal Good

Okay.. Stole that really bad title pun from NHL.com, but it seemed fitting. 


[Insert random Staal post for no reason here]


Random Staal Facts:

  • Eric Staal has only fought once in the NHL (05-06). Jordan has fought 4 times (1 was pre-season). Marc has fought 4 times too, but not since 2009.
  • Jared Staal is the only brother that shoots right-handed.
  • Remember last season when Jordan was still out from the torn tendon in his foot that nagged on forever? Remember who did it?  PK Subban. I'd forgotten that little fact & it only makes me dislike him more.
  • Jordan was the first brother to be nominated for the Selke! 
  • Eric is the only brother to be a part of the Triple Gold Club. ( Olympic Games gold medal, a World Championship gold medal, & Stanley Cup).  Both Marc & Jordan were cut from the Olympic team in 2010. Both Jordan & Eric have won the Stanley Cup.
  • Jordan was arrested for underage drinking at Eric's bachelor party in MN. Marc was not arrested, but Eric was held overnight. 
  • All the Staal boys are the same height- 6'4"
  • Jordan was the youngest age when he appeared in the NHL for the first time
Some of our favorite pictures:

 From Marc's wedding last summer. Gotta love Eric, but Jared always makes me giggle.
 Gotta love the brotherly love...
 Dawhhh- Jordan, Eric, & Marc last summer for Bauer.

Oldie, but goodie!
