(h/t to Bleacher Report and Net News Ledger) Following the Happy Gilmore standard for getting people interested in golf, the Freedom 55 Financial Thunder Bay Hockey Celebrity Golf Classic, held this past weekend, used hockey players as a means of upping the cred of the tournament. My only question, why didn't the tournament invite Chris Simon? They missed a golden opportunity, what with "most

from Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, What’s left? Only the best team in the Eastern Conference. What’s left? Only a club whose elite young core is nearly secured - Jordan Staal being the final item on the to-do list - for the next several years at unbelievable bargain rates. So, please, spare us the wailing over Hossa. Spare us the fretting over Ruutu and Conklin. read on

from Chuck Gormley at the Sporting News, If the Penguins secure Sidney Crosby, Hossa and Jordan Staal as their core forwards, they could spread the news that Malkin is available to the highest bidder. Malkin’s price tag has never been higher, and for the right draft pick/player package, general manager Ray Shero might consider a blockbuster for the talented Russian. The Bruins, Canucks and Canadiens...

There has been considerable speculation over the likelihood that the Pittsburgh Penguins can keep their core group together as they come up for new contract deals. Players such as Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Jordan Staal will be interesting decisions for the Penguin front office to ponder over the next 13 months or so (Malkin and Staal becoming RFAs after next season). And, the Penguins took...

From Mike Brophy at The Hockey News, As I was saying, the Penguins are built on a foundation of young studs, the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal and Marc-Andre Fleury. That is the core of a team destined to get back to the Stanley Cup final before too long – as long as they continue to be coached by Therrien. It’s not as though he’s the only man who can guide this club, but give...

From Dan Rosen at NHL.com, Instead of playing in Peterborough the last two seasons, [Jordan] Staal has made it big with the Pittsburgh Penguins, so big that now he’s the first teenager to play in the Stanley Cup Final since Dainius Zubrus did it as a 19-year-old with Philadelphia in 1997. “This is what I have always dreamt about doing, so I haven't thought about missing anything else,” Staal told NHL.com....

It seems like a lifetime ago – Jordan Staal's lifetime anyway – since Gary Roberts was last in the Stanley Cup final.

from Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Marc-Andre Fleury and Jordan Staal? They aren't going anywhere. Evgeni Malkin and Ryan Malone? That's a bit more problematic. Marian Hossa and Brooks Orpik? It has been nice knowing those guys, and their major contributions to what could be a Stanley Cup team will never be forgotten by an appreciative franchise and city. What a hectic offseason it will...

PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby? Amazing. Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal? Them, too. But one of the most eye-opening stories of the oh-so-young Penguins' march through the NHL's Eastern Conference playoffs is the play of Marc-Andre Fleury, who has a 1.70 goals-against average and an NHL-leading 12 wins in the playoffs.

No offense to the lovely Prince of Wales Trophy - which goes to the NHL's Eastern Conference champion - but Penguins center Jordan Staal probably spoke for a lot of people when he said, "I don't think I ever heard of it before tonight."
