I thought the same thing. As a father of two young ones, I find it hard to imagine getting on with life after something so tragic.

I think what was really special for me was seeing him at the bench. It was the most non-hockey team celebration I've ever seen.

It was like in that moment no one on the team was thinking about the implications of that goal on the game, they were 100% invested in the goal's deeper meaning.

He just kind of fell into the embrace of his teammates as they all took turns saying things in his ear.

Really special.

I really hope AC can gif everything for us, especially the 10 seconds CBC showed at the bench of teammates congratulating him.

Does it surprise anybody that the guys who give Stajan the most hugs, words of encouragement are Bouma, Westgarth and McGratten?

McGrattan hugs him like a brother.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sure there's a lot of heads in this team thinking "If I could play for this team forever, I would."

Watching the game with my 8 year old son (he is a Canuck fan, & we have a good rivalry going).

I shared Matt's story with him while watching the replay. I actually got quite choked up when he says to me, 'that's so sad, I'm glad he scored'.

Did I just hear CBC right? Oake mentioned Matt and Katie losing their son Emerson, then said it was a beautiful moment? I only overheard the tv from the other room.

This is exactly what I thought.

I said to my party after the goal "Well, you've got to think that he was sending a message upstairs after that one."

Way to go, Matt. Give 'er.

100% agree. I think the effect of his character on this team is very underrated.

They were the words, or close enough, but Hrudey was referring to Stajan's goal and arm raised to the heavens as the beautiful moment.
