Eric Staal scored twice to become the franchise's all-time playoff points leader yesterday. More important he has Carolina driven to impressive 4:1 win that gave Cans 3-1 lead against Boston.
“It seems like every time we need a goal or a big play Eric comes and shows up,” Ruutu said. “That’s why he’s a great leader and one of the best players in the world. He shows up in the toughest times.”
“For me personally, I’m just so excited to get to the playoffs,” said Staal, who leads Carolina with 12 points in 11 postseason games. “It was a real, real tough two years missing, especially last year when we were so close. Coming off winning the Stanley Cup you remember how fun and how awesome it was and you want to be back there so badly. It has been a long two years. I feel good where my game is at and I’m finding areas where pucks are going in.”
