Watch Eric Staal score goal on beautiful breakaway deke

It's a shame the Carolina Hurricanes have faded so far out of relevance these days, because it's easy to forget just how good Eric Staal still is.

Just look at that goal. The Canes' captain completely deked Blues goalie Brian Elliott out of his pads to give Carolina a 3-1 lead in the first period. Elliott was pulled after Staal's goal after giving up three tallies on just 10 shots. The Hurricanes saved the prettiest shot for last.
