As the NHL offseason is well underway, now’s the time when you can look back at the long season that was just played, and take an in depth view into your team. For the past few years, the New York Rangers have had a reliable defensive group in front of goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. But, if you had to choose, would it be Marc Staal or Dan Girardi?
My opinion- Dan Girardi for sure. I’ll tell you why in a little bit, but for now let’s focus on Staal.
The only defenseman out of a four brother NHL family, Marc Staal has proven to be a very valuable defender for the Blueshirts.
