Player Discussion: Steven Stamkos - Part 8

[LightningStrikes]

JBB said someone unexpected may move. Stamkos may go to Toronto? Could it finally be happening?

More likely it’s McD or Sergachev he’s talking about. But my guess is as good as yours.

Don’t see Stamkos traded let alone waive his full NMC. With his injury history who would even be willing to take that risk?

I think he needs to leave Gary Roberts and try something different! I think it was good when he was younger but he should look and go to the trainer Marty St. Louis had .

[The Gongshow]

He can finally rest up and not push himself to get back and ultimately reaggravate thr injury.

Rest up Stammer!

 

[Stormbreaker]

I'm not buying he's going to be ready for the start of the season.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

I'm not buying he's going to be ready for the start of the season.

To be fair, we don't even know when the next season will start

Holy hell this year has been hellish on our captain :/

 

[LightningStrikes]

Holy hell this year has been hellish on our captain :/

Holy shit, I can’t even imagine the grief. <3 Stammer!

 

[The Gongshow]

That's awful news. The guy stuck it out in the bubble. The mental toughness this guy had and to do what he did for this team is nothing short of legendary. A true warrior and captain

Such sad news, I'm hoping the cup brought his family a small bit of happiness in this dark time for them

 

[gn2007]

God I hope he can come back to who he was, but still love that goal he scored and the celebration on the bench.

My son died many years ago. I was a college senior, trying to become a doc. Just a senior in college, alone... cannot fathom the strength of mind and soul to play NHL hockey after that ... so much respect for our Captain, and deepest condolences

I am sorry to hear that and I'm sure it was one of roughest ruts in your life. I do hope life got better for you and things turned positive after the aspect and experience. I cant fathom losing a kid with my gf when we have an almost 4 year old son coming up in November.

LEGENDARY MOMENT IN LIGHTNING HISTORY.

Guy ripped his groin again and still sniped. Such a boss move. Guys still an elite sniper. While we were up 2-0 at that point, that goal really rallied the boys and really motivated them, maybe even gave them a 2nd wind for the rest of the series. There was no way the boys were gonna lose that one, got that W for the captain

 

[Nautica54]

Confused...was this his son Carter who passed or did his wife lose a baby during pregnancy/miscarriage

 

[Hoek]

Ugh. Stamkos is insanely strong to go through all that and still be there with the team and score a goal on a torn groin at that. What the hell man. Totally earned that cup and that C on his jersey. I just wish it would get easier for him now.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Wow, definitely have a knot in my stomach after reading that story. Stamkos is a true leader and warrior for being so strong. What a nightmare of a year he must have had.

I'd be lying if I didn't say the death dropped me off a cliff into an abyss. He'd have been 34 this year, 35 in March. That said, my 2nd son is almost 29 and the light of my life. He has made me a better person than I ever thought I could be and I do believe, his angelic brother has kept him safe.

Life, if given a chance, is good - joy naturally follows. ty again <3

It looks like it was during the playoffs run..they were going to have a second kid in january but 21 weeks the pregnancy ended. I bv read the article by erik erlendsson and goes in depth about how much he and his bv wife went through during the bubble

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Pretty clear now why all the players and people in the organization were praising him so much and made sure he was the first and key figure with the cup.

Lord. Thats awful shit.

 

[These Are The Days]

This man lost his unborn baby in the middle of a championship run.........






He lost his family he will never get to see, love and hold............






I don't even have words right now. I'm devastated and this isn't even my baby we're talking about here.






I didn't understand at the time why and how the team rallied around a guy so much who was around seemingly to play cheerleader the whole time. Steven if I ever actually see you again I'm giving you the kind of hug only a father understands. The closest I've ever gotten was getting to raise a little munchkin starting when she was 5 years old. It's gonna be awkward as hell and you'll probably get creeped out. But it's the only way I can express how I actually feel about this. Buddy, you've got one hell of a wife to be able to go through that by herself as long as she did without you. Who let you go back to winning a Cup. Unreal man






After all this I don't think I can ever have a negative word to say again and I'm being serious

It's not a wonder why they won and were as dominant as they were now. They were doing it for him as much as anything.

 

[Peacefool]

I dont have words about all of this. Best wishes to Stammer and his wife! He is the real Captain.After game he played he looked really sad on postgame interview,I thought he looked like this,cuz he either knew he wont be playing more in play offs,or that his injury will not allow him to play at all,but now I understand why he looked so sad. My Captain! Best wishes again to him and his wife!
