Steven Stamkos and his monster season

[Nickmo82]

Boyle wins it this season.

Ah yes, forgot about Boyle.

What I don't understand is why you used absolute point totals for the 12 game state comparison and league standings for the full season comparison. That makes no sense unless you're trying to push an agenda in a misleading manner.

These players scored 100+, 100+, 90(in 68gp) etc. points after the starts they had, which is what is important.

Partially that. He is also greatly helped by Kuch. Defenses never leave Kuch open, they just can't. Sometimes that leads to more space for #91.

Wonder how much longer until he gets injured again just like every year. Doesn't matter how good you are for 20 games at the start of the season if you don't play the rest.

His injuries aren't really of the "repeatable" variety like a concussion or an ACL tear, mostly just awful luck. I hope he can reverse that luck this season.

Him and Kucherov are playing great thus far. Hope it keeps up. The league is better if Stamkos is healthy if you ask me.

As a secondary fan of this team it's great to see him doing what he's doing. I love it.

"Just like every year".

Stamkos went 5 years without missing a game due to an injury. But sure thing, buddy.

I've enjoyed watching him get back to form this year.

Crazy to see a comment from him a few days ago saying he's still not back to 100% and doesn't think he ever will be.

God this team is going to ****ing murder us on Thursday. They always do anyway but this time might be epic.

Gotta have faith lmao

 

[torirose1998]

It's great seeing high scoring hockey again.

Should be the likely Masterton winner too, no? (assuming he continues to log games/points) I don't know of others who would fit.

If only we had a really high scorer on our poor Rangers...

awww don't worry we'll tell him to ease up when he plays your favorite team. I promise.

No one wrote him off. People rightfully questioned how reliable and effective he would be in his return from a bad injury and long recovery, not to mention some other injuries in the last 5 years that were of concern. No one wrote off his talent or ability, but people just managed their expectations of him, because it was very possible he came back and was not exactly the same player. He himself says he does not feel like 100% given what he's been able to do in the past and that it is the new normal for him. He has played 13 games, and although it is clear her is still one of the best players in the world, you never know when he might go down again. Hoping this is not the case and he can continue thriving.

Btw, probably noted already, but Stamkos and Kucherov named #1 and #2 stars of the month respectively. Amazing!

Please stop making main board threads.

there is nothing bad about this thread in fact there is an almost identical one about Schwartz.

I have made bad threads but this is not one of them

I'll say this much.. you'll learn a lot about hockey between now and when you're my age (22).

You'll learn a lot in every portion of life from 15 to 22. Not just hockey.
