Matt Stajan is the man of the hour in Calgary.

The Flames center scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's Game 6 over the Vancouver Canucks, propelling the club to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2004.

And he just so happened to be mic'd up to fully capture the moment

The goal was Stajan's first in nine career playoff games and comes after a series of injuries and a personal tragedy, context that only added to the joy experienced on and off the ice.

"It felt great," Stajan told reporters after the game. "Looking back now and sitting back, it's so special. It's been such a tough year for my family and this team has been great all year. We found a way and we found a way tonight and to be a part of this, it's amazing."

The Flames will now take on the Anaheim Ducks in the second round.
