A true legend forever and always, as a Rangers fan, I had some respect for him. Congratulations to the legend and the 1st of his brothers to have his jersey retired. Eric Staal, you will always be a Stanley Cup Champion.

I was in the RBC Center when he scored with 3 seconds left against the devils game 2 round 2 of the 2006 playoffs, he deserves this and to be in the Hockey Hall Of Fame
Jordan should have his jersey retired with carolina, to join his brother!
Fairwell, Eric Staal. Fairwell!!
Congratulations Eric Staal on an incredible career and for being inducted into the CHoF! Being an a west conference fan I donβt remember him as much as many fans do, but he was still just one of those names that always stuck out, in highlights and in EANHL games.
Congrats on your jersey retirement! I used to wear a jersey shirt to school and it was #12, Eric Staal. People all the time would ask me who he was, there weren't many hockey fans at my school in NC, lol. Nevertheless, thank you for your efforts and enjoy your retirement, Eric!

Staal is loved in Carolina. To cap it off will be the hall of fame and he will definitely make it. The cup win and longevity and contributions to hockey and his community all are factors. The staals are good ol canadian boys and humbling men. Canada is proud!

congrats on an insane career eric, you even helped my cats reach the SCF in the last year of your career, cheers legend
Still pains me to this day that we traded Williams and Brindamour to you guysπ’ but I was thrilled to see both of them have the success they have!
Going to be a sad day when there are no Staalβs left playing on the Hurricanes. That family will always be connected to the Canes
Only one stall left in the nhl now sadly
Eric Staal was always a class act and a fantastic player. He deserves all the recognition he received. Stanley cup champion, all star and gold medal winner! He helped build canes hockey to what it is !
I still feel Cam Ward should be in the banters for canes too
