3 points last night, but it could have easily been 5. I had tempered expectations for him because of his recovery, but damn he didn't miss a beat.
While obviously bittersweet, it would be sort of hilarious to win a Cup without Kucherov for the people that kept trying to discredit Stamkos since we won the Cup without him.Trade Stamkos

What agenda would they push next?
Vintage 91.
Pretty amazing to think by the end of his career he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame AND in the "what could have been" column.
Not really, he would've gotten there easily. Unless he ages horribly.Provided no more random acts of God happen and lockouts I think we can still hold out hope for 600 goals by the end of his career. I don't know if he will drop off but it'll be close if even if he does. "What could have been" in a healthy career without lockouts would've been a question of if he made the 700 club

Truth be told, I was being modest for the sake of that fact.
Age hits guys differently and for some it just smacks the f*** out of them. Like Lucic went from 24-18-20-23 goal seasons in 4 years to 10-8-6 goal seasons after he turned 29. Mike Richards was another REALLY bad example dude didn't get to like 28 before he was washed up. A healthy Stamkos at 47 goals a year average (not unimaginable in my book) by the end of year 12 has 564 goals and at 30 years old. But I'm not betting on him getting the last 136 goals for 700 if his body breaks down as rapidly as Lucic or Richards.
If that doesn't happen? Then yeah you're right and it's a matter of which giant he surpassed

He could've just put the puck in himself when Delia turned it over as well. Passing it to Palat actually almost ruined it but it worked out in the end.He scores twice last night were it not for Delia/Keith stopping him on the breakaway
Guys, Stamkos is still elite

Before the Kuch injury all I was reading (everywhere, not just Hfboards) was trade Stamkos, put him on LTIR, etc.No one was saying that once Kuch got injured. We solved it with his LTIR instead.
I think the fact that we won a cup without him might have pushed him in the off-season. He looks like he's in a different gear.Before the Kuch injury all I was reading (everywhere, not just Hfboards) was trade Stamkos, put him on LTIR, etc.
