The Pittsburgh Penguins shouldnt get rid of Jordan Staal

Rumors have been going around that Jordan Staal might get traded soon. I think trading Staal would be a mistake for the Penguins. Staal is a young and talented hockey player. He is the best penalty killer on the team. He is on one of the best thrid liners in the league. In my opinion, he is the best third line center in the NHL. With his size and skills, he is the most underrated player in hockey because he is over shadowed by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

Stanley Cup Champs

The Penguins did what everyone said they couldn't do. They beat the Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena in game seven of the finals. Marc Andre Fleury played the game of his life. What a great save he made on Nicklas Lidstrom as time ran out on the Red Wings. But that being said, Max Talbot won the game for the Pens with his two big goals in game seven. The Penguins still found a way to win the game with the best player in the league missing half of the game. Malkin deserved to win the Conn Smythe trophy with all the great plays he made in the finals. I hope they don't lose too many guys in the off season, because I hope they repeat next season. Way to go Pens!

Therrien came just two games short of becoming a Stanley Cup champion coach last season. It's amazing how eight months ago people were singing his praises about what a great coach he was. I can't believe what short memories people have. Now that Therrien is out of the picture I guess that means we can now make it back to the Stanley Cup Finals. I guess now that Therrien is gone the defense will began to play well again! I guess now that Therrien is gone we will get more production out of Crosby and Malkin! Let's be honest now, Therrien wasn't the problem, it was that he was coaching a pathic defensive unit, and had his biggest star Sidney Crosby playing with third
