Nobody even wants this plug in a trade.

These are the kind of thoughts that make Canadian fans sucks. Stajan has been a heart and soul player for this team for a long time, although of the lower skilled variety. He's nearing the end of his career, so he's not nearly as effective as he once was, but oh boy! I can't wait to kick him in the ass out the door! What did he do to deserve this treatment exactly? Get older, and like every single player, not be as good at hockey. Do you really find that fact so personally offensive that you need to treat him like an a-hole?
Stajan is right, the fans on the road cheer harder than the fans at home. It's an ugly phenomenon. Season ticket holders have made so many comments in threads that they're fed up with this team and they don't want to bother going to games anymore. You know what? You can stop going any time. Give those seats up to a fan that really wants to be there. Even if attendance drops overall, at least those fans that do show up would cheer with some enthusiasm for their team, EVEN IF THEY AREN'T PLAYING PERFECTLY. Some of you have such ridiculous expectations for this team that they are probably playing like they're walking on eggshells for fear of upsetting the fans even more.
Give Stajan a break. He doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. Cheer for the friggin' team, regardless of how every game is going or how the season is going. Get off your hands and use your voice.
