STAAL BOYS PAINT THE TOWN BEIGE

You know the old line about not even being able to get arrested in this town? The NHL can't even have a player arrest without it seeming kind of lame and white-bread.

Hockey blogger nonpareil Eric McErlain is all over the Eric and Jordan Staal boozy bachelor party arrests. Now, who gets arrested for being drunk and disorderly in the middle of July while wearing a mock turtleneck? The brothers' mugshots wouldn't have even looked out of place in a Napanee District Secondary School yearbook.

It's a far, far cry from Pacman Jones makin' it rain. Then again, that's why people love the NHL: The glorious absence of hipness and urbanity.
