I've never been a fan of Stajan. He totally failed expectations when he became a Flame in that trade. Sutter hands him a big contract which he could not live up to and we watched him fall from the first line all the way to the fourth.

Then just when I'm getting excited that he and his bad contract will be off the team, Burke re-signs him to a 4 year 12.5 M deal and makes the statement that a dozen GM's called him to congratulate him on the contract.

After he scored that beautiful goal against Vancouver I turned to my friends and told them I would no longer bash Matt Stajan. I decided he is what he is, even if the contracts he has been given to be a Flame were ridiculous. Last year I didn't post my hate here. That goal shut me up.

That said, this year I have to give him his due. He is playing his role so well right now. These twelve games to start the season are the best I have seen him play in the eight years he has been wearing a Flames jersey. The 3.125 cap hit for a 4th liner still sucks but so be it.

Hope he keeps up this great play because we all know this team totally needs what he his bringing from the fourth line.
