Thanks to the NHL bowing out of Beijing, Staal is at the Olympics once again. “I’m excited to be here. It’s been a unique couple of years here with everything going in the world and when the NHL opted to not play and my situation was what it was and I jumped at this chance.” (AP Photo/Derik Hamilton, File)
