Cody Eakin’s Hit on Matt Stajan ‘One of the Dirtiest Hits’ Bob Hartley Has Ever Seen (Video)
A head coach will stick up for his player 999 times out of 1,000, but Flames head coach Bob Hartley might want to watch game film before making crazy accusations.
On Monday night, Cody Eakin caught Matt Stajan with his head down in the neutral zone — kind of. At first glance, the hit looked pretty dirty, but as Yahoo! Sports’ Puck Daddy points out, maybe it’s worth a second...

The Other Side Of Brent Sutter
from George Johnson of the Calgary Herald, When Matt Stajan deposited the puck into a yawning net on a couldn’t-be-better 2-on-1 pass from Blake Comeau 4: 20 into overtime Tuesday, taciturn tactician Brent Sutter showed everyone a new, surprising, utterly engaging side of the head coach of the big team in this town.
He hugged Lowry. High-fived anyone available. Hollered in delight...
Cam Gore: Flames need an extra frame to take down the Sharks
The Sharks came away with one point in Calgary after Matt Stajan scored in overtime with 0:40 seconds remaining in a 3-2 win to end the Sharks four game road trip.
âOne is better than noneâ quipped Todd McLellan after the game âbut thatâs not what our goal was. I thought we played well enough to get two but weâre not going home with them.â

Flicker the Flaming Horse

The Flames showed a little spunk tonight with a come from behind 5-4 overtime loss against the very pedestrian T.B. Lightning. The effort included Jarome’s 496th career snipe as well as Matt Stajan’s 1st of the year. Oh indeed the Dion Phaneuf trade continues...

Shaune Vetter: Matty Franchise!
I don't know if anyone could be considered "happy" that Matt Stajan is around to use as a centre, but he certainly couldn't have asked for a better chance to show that he still belongs in the NHL as the Flames lost pivot Mikael Backlund for 6 weeks meaning that the Flames will likely be forced to use Stajan at least until Brendan Morrison is ready.
The scenario...
