Pre-Season Post-Game: The Stajan Supremacy

Sometimes, we as hockey observers let players settle into their roles and stop seeing their potential. Tonight was a good example of a player showing that he's more than the ice-time he's been allotted.

In short: man, Matt Stajan is a good passer.

Brandon Bollig scored a pair of goals, but the real star of the show tonight was Matty Franchise. Stajan set up both of Bollig's goals and Josh Jooris' overtime game-winner as the Flames completed a three-games-in-three-nights (in three cities) sweep with a 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
