Eric Stall is a has-been piece of shit. He's a disgrace. What does he make, 7 mil? The NHL should dNOT guarantee contracts. This guy's a useless BUM.

I like the name Levi...I'm from Newfoundland, Canada...Levi is sort of a common name around here but whatever he named the kid...they just had him and people are on her bashing tayna and eric about the choice to name a name they wanted...eric said recently tayna liked other names that he didn't like but they both agreed on this...the john part was a given...actually suprised they didn't use it on parker...but either way its there kid...they could name their kids cheech and chong...as long as they are good parents...i've never met either of them but i'd go to bat that they are...leave them be...

HERE'S A THOUGHT!!!!!!.....The kid belongs to tanya and Eric....NOT YOU...If they want to name him Beach Ball O'Malley Staal...THEIR CHOICE...NOT YOURS...I'm a Canes fan and Eric is my fav player...When it comes to his personal life, as long as he's happy and healthy...all i care about...if you are REAL fans you might want to take the energy you spend talking about things that have no concern to you and focus on cheering for the team

Levi means joined in harmony.

It's stems from the Old Testament - the son of Jacob and Leah.

In 2010 it was #48 on the baby name popularity list.

It's not weird or tacky. It's normal/common nowadays. That said I like it way better than other names like Matthew or Jacob or the other boring names.

Levi hasn't been unique for a long time. I work in hospital and the name is way too common, I feel like every 5th kid born there is named Levi. Sorry, but terrible name choice.

I read an article that interviewed Jordan about it, and it sounded like he thought Marc would be back eventually. Maybe not this season unfortunately, but I don't think his career is over.

Nobody can predict concussions, especially this early in the season. I don't think they would shut him down now. They haven't made any official announcement yet, so we're not going to believe you.

Tanya's parent's and late sister, Tamara and her husband were all very religious, especially Tamara and Jon. Kari (Tanya's younger sister) and her husband are definitely active in their church. Tanya has never been as religious as any of them are.

Staal's/VanderZwaag's are pretty religious. Not the four boys really, but their families are.

Both families are Dutch Christian Reform, not Catholic. Staal's went to Thunder Bay Christian School, VandenBroeke's didn't. I'm pretty sure Henry's parents helped found TBCS.
