The Penguins have a chance to win year in and year out while Carolina is hit or miss to even make the playoffs.<br /><br />With the Staal x2, Carolina is now insanely better and in the weak EC South division, might even be the favorites to win with a tremendous goaltender in Cam Ward. Sometime in the span of those ten years I am pretty confident (knock on wood) that the Penguins will win a Stanley Cup. Not sure if the same thing could be said about the Hurricanes, but Staal x2 could prove us wrong.Bryan Fyalkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513651076497764720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258692692043060287.post-49550752816352456392012-07-04T09:59:25.564-07:002012-07-04T09:59:25.564-07:00I guess he wants to just go be the man (with his b...I guess he wants to just go be the man (with his brother) down in Carolina. If I was a star player who has always been considered one of the best, I would try to win one myself rather than watch Crosby and Malkin get all the coverage. Interesting debate though, these can always go both ways. Great debut, Brandt!Kevin Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04208935189612915484noreply@blogger.com
