Matt Stajan for Team Canada 2010!
Mike Fisher for Team Canada? Fuck that! It's all about Matt Stajan! Hear our prayers Steve Yzerman!! He's proven himself as the #1 center for Canada's team, now it's time he proves he's the #1 center for Team Canada.
Sign the petition to let Yzerman know how serious we are about wanting Matt Stajan to be a Canadian Olympian!

Playing with kessel
doesn’t make stajan better than fisher.. if anything it makes a case for fish
not to say mike fisher deserves any looks either but i see stajans rebound and kessel assist bonanza as trade value bonus time and nothing else.. kid is NOT a #1 center despite what the data manipulation and blueblood fantalk says

I think you could see it as making the case for Stajan. Fisher plays with Kovalev, and while his personal output has been decent, Kov had played brutally next to him. Stajan, on the other hand, is playing next to the type of talent that will be on Team Canada, and both of them are putting up numbers (and so is poni).
I don’t actually think Stajan should be on Team Canada, but I think that between him and fisher he has the edge, if only because he has shown he can centre a very skilled scorer while putting up goals and assists.

So you’d rather have Mike Fisher on team Canada?

Earth to Pamplemousse: I was making a joke.

Earth to Pamplemousse: I’m not so sure you did ‘cause you were all, "I’m not sure if I should sign this" like you didn’t know it was a joke.
Pamplemousse: I knew it was a joke, SF. I just didn’t get it right away.

Can we stop it with all the “earth-to’s”.
If we’re really going to deconstruct the entire thing it goes like this – and I fully admit that I come across as entirely humourless in this situation, but seven months of unemployment will do that to you.
Your “satire” is the following:
Some Sens fans (and others) believe in all sincerity that Mike Fisher deserves a spot on the Olympic team and have created a petition to try and make that wish a reality. You, believing that Fisher is unworthy of a spot, suggest that Matt Stajan – another player clearly unworthy of a spot on the Olympic team – deserves to go to Vancouver. So you created the above petition in response to the Fisher petition, hoping that the ridiculous suggestion that Matt Stajan could be on the Olympic team will highlight the ridiculous suggestion that Fisher could be.
I found that, while not particularly subtle, it was a pretty apt and hilarious way to get your message across. But I also found it ridiculous because you’re creating a satire around a situation where the ridiculousness of is pretty self-evident i.e. anyone with a right mind should know that Mike Fisher isn’t worthy of an Olympic spot, and really we’re just baiting a group of people who don’t know any better.
Hence my question – do I sign because it’s hilarious, or do I not sign because it’s ridiculous.
All that said, I signed, with my real name even.

Stajan vs Fisher - Let's compare the numbers
Stajan – 11G, 17 A, +1, 9 PPP, 1 SHP. 2 GWG. (Career high 55 points in ‘08-’09)
Fisher – 15 G, 11 A, +9, 7 PPP, 2 SHP, 4 GWG. (Career high 48 points in ‘06-’07)
Virtually identical stats with the plus side bonus for youth to Stajan. If people are considering Fisher for the Olympic squad, then why not Stajan? Hence the petition.

A Message From Matt Stajan
Hi everybody! Thanks for all the support. I just want to say that hockey is a team game and any success I’ve had is due to the great eforts of my teammates. When everybody on the ice is giving a 110 percent, it’s a lot easier, and a lot more fun. If I get an assist or score a goal, it’s because everyone is contributing, and that’s what makes me really happy.
P.S. I’m really looking forward to having Vik back again and I’ll tell him to drop by and say hello during the GDT.
