So Staal scores two and he’s back!

But is he back?

The truth is we need to judge over the next month to know that he is back, this type of thing is a retrospective point of view.  Staal’s three point night comes after a six game pointless streak.  He is still at a dismal  -21 for the season and needs a huge rally from here on out for a respectable season finish in that department.

For the record I truly hope he is back and hope he finds his way to having fun playing hockey.  I have to think if this recent game for him doesn’t turn the season around then little else will.  At what point does Jim Rutherford then at least entertain some of the calls he is likely getting for Staal?
