Who says he wont? He was also our best faceoff guy all year.He needs to play the wing but won’t

I mean Stamkos has never had good playoffs, he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt even if everyone else sucked as well. The guy is just not a good playoff player.This would be more profound if the ENTIRE team didn't also implode. Esspecially with the other players also having career years.
He did have maybe the best, most well rounded year of his career. Then he just instantly fell off a cliff? Again, this would be more legitimate if the entire team didnt ALSO fall off a cliff. How the hell does that happen? That's the strange part.
This is accurate. However, this years playoffs was a huge anomaly. Both can be true. They are not mutually exclusive.I mean Stamkos has never had good playoffs, he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt even if everyone else sucked as well. The guy is just not a good playoff player.
I also agree with this. I think Stamkos does deserve part of the blame as the captain.Well I dont feel bad for Stamkos because he was the captain of this team and he should be blamed for the mental softness of this team as much as Coop is. Didnt see him on the bench trying to get guys going. Seen other teams captains do it before. I love how Stamkos turned his game around this season but still as a Captain he needs to be better.

However, I also believe it to be true that an entire team full of professional athletes should not have to rely on another person to get them mentally prepared for adversity. These are all men that have traveled a long way to get to this point. The "best of the best" if you will. They should all be personally responsible first and foremost for their own mental preperation.
Well, to be fair again, there are NO emotional fiery guys on this team. Vinny wasnt that guy, but he had Marty, Dinger and Boyle among others.I've been vocal about the whole team sharing the blame, however I just feel that Stamkos as a Captain needs to be better. I do agree that they shouldn't need that voice considering all they have done together but sometimes guys need a push and that is what the captain is there for. It was clear these guys had no idea what to do. Even though it was clear Coop and Stamkos were stumped as well, you still are the guys the team looks to the most. Would have liked to see some emotion from those two. Maybe could have sparked the team.

Which is why this team needs some take no ****, energy guys.
I don't think Alex Barre-Boulet is the answer here.maybe ABB goes out and gets a guy to do that

That's why I said: "this is accurate." He deserves some blame.Yeah, but at the same time, we're pointing fingers at all our star players right now. Kucherov and even Point have certainly taken their share of heat on this board. The only guy immune is Hedman, because, well, he looked like they dragged him out of a coma and forced him to play. So Stamkos has to catch some heat too, especially since he's never really had the kind of post-season he needs to solidify himself as an all time great.
It’s well documented he doesn’t want to switch. The only playoff goal he scored was on Cirellis wing.Who says he wont? He was also our best faceoff guy all year.
Why does he (Stammer) have Cali plates? Or am I misunderstanding what happened here (I have never used Twitter)?
Think Hughes was just joking with him because of what the plates said. Stammer doesn't drive an SUV/mom-mobile.
How about that. Congrats Stammer. Be a good man and get the pics up.So apparently Stammer’s son Carter was born a day ago or so. Congrats captain!
Hope Stamkos is a responsible parent and doesn't buy him any toys he can choke on.Two or three weeks until the kid's working on 1-timers.
