Staal brothers Marc and Jordan face off in second round of NHL playoffs

via Canadian Press:

The next two weeks won’t be fun for Linda Staal, two of her sons, Jordan and Marc, battling it out with so much at stake. Dad? Henry Staal is ok with it.

“He thinks it’s pretty cool but my mom doesn’t like it very much,” Marc Staal said Friday after the pre-game skate. “She hates it I think.”

So much so, it appears, that plans to come and watch the boys in the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins were scrapped. At least for now.

“They’re staying home,” reported Marc, a rookie defenceman with the Rangers. “They were thinking they would come in for this but then they just said it would be too hard to sit in the stands and watch. So they’re going to hide in their basement.”
