News Article: Matt Stajan is done in the NHL

[Mr Hockey]

in your opinion

There are players that were considered "stars" with over a 1000 points not in the HOF ...

 

[1specter]

One of those guys where I'd hear his name while watching and think to myself, "He's still playing in the NHL?" He had a decent career.

I remember being excited with the notion of a Sundin-Steen-Stajan trio down the middle.

I mean, that's a pretty solid 1-2-3 if all guys are in their primes lol. Obviously never worked out like that

 

[taurine330]

Playing just for two teams for his entire 1000 game career is impressive.

 

[Yamazaki]

1000 games? I feel old... I remember him, wellwood and colliacovo tearing up the world jr’s And having a bright future with the leafs.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

1000 NHL games and still being only 34. Charmed life. Good for him. Seems like a good guy.

 

[Warden of the North]

Pretty sure I mentioned it on this board last season when he played 1000 games. There was a debate going on between my friends and I about whether or not he should be in he Hall of Fame for playing 1000 games.

Uh no.

Mr. or Mr.s Stajan your son had a decent career. Appreciate him. But he is no where near a HOF hockey player.

He was a decent player, but a better man.

He gave a lot to the community here and he was appreciated.

Had a tough personal loss, and the city embraced him.

 

[Duke Silver]

Looking at stats in recent years, it was insane how seldom he shot the puck.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Why are people even mentioning hes not going to the HOF in this thread. Like derp. The initial poster was either joking or is mentally handicapped.

I guess that depends what you are referring to.

 

[ULF_55]

The 10th. Leafs drafted player to play over 1,000 games.

Yes, there are many who were not HOF worthy, but they all deserve our respect.
