Just when you think it couldn't get any better for the Pens, along comes rookie C Jordan Staal to join fellow wunderkind Malkin and Crosby. This kid Staal has been a huge surprise. He was supposed to go back to the Peterborough after nine game, according to the AP, but he's played so well he's actually been promoted to the second line.

Furthermore, the AP says "Staal has four goals and an assist in nine games and played more than 17 minutes in the Penguins' 8-2 victory at Philadelphia on Saturday... In less than a month in the league, he already has become the youngest player in NHL history to score twice short-handed in a game and on a penalty shot. He also is the youngest player in nearly 63 years to score twice in a game." So what's your impressions of this kid Staal thus far?

Life is great when you can play without pressure...nobody expects much from Pitt and Crosby and Malkin are attracting the opponents attention...perfect situation for Staal to steal a few goals and learn the ropes...can't ask for more.
