Stamkos enters the top 100

Steven "Jonathan Toews" Stamkos

 

[DRW895]

After G5 and Tampa elimination

Only 41 spots behind Corey Perry...

I’m using @Mulletman ‘s post history in my application for The Onion’s writing staff. Hopefully I have his blessing

When did Selanne die? lol

Except the last game in the series I was pleasantly surprised with Stamkos, he played like a power forward. He's also a UFA though ...

Stamkos is the Lebron James of NHL playoff scoring. Prove me wrong. I'll wait.

A skilled diver? Absolutely correct

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

I appreciate that you took the time to flip the image of Washington so he's facing the same way as Stamkos.

Who is this Washington you speak of? I see a photo of Stamkos and an oil painting of Stamkos.

Ironically he's likely to fall right back out of the top 100 after Rantanen passes him next round.

 

[Shark Finn]

I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time you declare Selänne to be dead. What's your obsession with him? It's not like he retired with 674 goals or something similarly disgusting.

also it's questioanlbe if Stamkos is evena top 200 playoff performer among forward all time in the NHL...I doubt it and I like the guy.

Having aid that I doubt that he is in the top 100 playoff performers among forwards since expansion.

A pretty good career surefire HHOFer but not because of playoffs.

Stamkos is a playoff disappointment, always has been.

Incredible player, but this is the first year in his entire career that he has over a PPG in the playoffs, despite having 1137 points in 1082 regular season games in his career.

Only reason he's top 100 is because the Lightning have been a wagon for the last decade.

Ma! A new Mulletman banger just dropped!

He was inder point per game for couple years (maybe more) in RS before Kucherov started his 100 point seasons

Sure but scoring was lower and it was post injury Stamkos as well.

I appreciate the reference...

The classic Mulletman thread formula:

First, have some stat from which an awfully specific conclusion is drawn. For example, Stamkos's playoffs ppg is 0.79 and reg ppg 1.05 so calling him great in playoffs due to this is a bit, eh. Although he was good this year.

Second, have a random faulty or misinterpreted fact such as Teemu Selänne being "a late great."

Third, have an absolutely random tidbit or opinion that has absolutely nothing to do with anything, such as Stamkos being Washington in his previous life.


Nice return to form here.

Can't we all agree Stamkos is a great player and also stop saying he's a 2x Stanley Cup winner? He played 2 minutes and 47 seconds in that 2020 Cup run. Yes technically his name is on it twice but it's disingenuous. It doesn't detract from his HoF career, it's just a difference of being honest vs factual.

But he even scored a goal, right? How could he not be a Stanley cup winner? Scoring a goal is very different from not playing at all and getting the cup due to a technicality. In that case, you'd have an argument, but as is, this is just not a strong position you're taking.
