Goligoski’s already broken his records!

Wayne Gretzky had it wrong: 100% of the shots Gary Roberts doesn't take DO go in.

I would love to see Staal hit that 50 pt mark. 20 goals 30 assists. I’ll take that every year from Staalsy. Hes a beast. Really hoping he gets the respect he deserves this year with a Selke Nomination.

If Staal keeps tapping the potential he’s got it in him to put up his bro’s numbers.
