Speculation: 2014-15 Off-Season Talk - Part II

[Brie]

It’s getting closer everyday…

 

[Coopers Gum]

you're welcome....i have it home right now.

ps4?!

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

ps4?!

Indeed

 

[BoltSTH]

When do season tickets get sent out?

Not long before the first pre-season game, just 21 days

 

[Leonardo87]

Individual tickets go on sale Friday @ 10am. Going to try and get tickets to the home opener and 10/11 game . If not have to go to Stub hub and yet they won't even come close to how expensive Ranger tickets are.

 

[Brie]

I saw that someone posted some pics of some of the players practicing today on Instagram (hastag #bolts if you want to see yourself), StrÃ¥lman, Morrow, Nabby and Vasy were all there (they also included a video of StrÃ¥lman shooting pucks at Vasy, didn’t look so good but I don’t know the context)

 

[Coopers Gum]

Stamkos on health of leg compared to end of last season: "It feels much stronger. Mentally, too, you're in a better state." #TBLightning

Stamkos on off season moves: "We're constantly trying to put the best team on the ice, and we did that." #TBLightning

Stamkos on being captain: "We have a great leadership group in here. It's pretty easy coming in and sharing that load w/ all those guys."

#TBLightning prospect Jonathan Drouin: "I want to be on this club. I think I'm a step closer than I was last year."

 

[Coopers Gum]

You forgot the best one:

Joe Smith ‏@TBTimes_JSmith
#tblightning @RealStamkos91 says talk about him, contract and Maple Leafs "blown out of proportion." "I want to win here," he said.

[Mikeaveli]

Adam Proteau ‏@Proteautype

Via @erlendssonTBO, Steven Stamkos says he accidentally favorited the tweet to my story linking him to the Leafs.

I'd be more willing to accept that if Stamkos didn't favorite a separate tweet linking him and John Tavares to Toronto hours later.

 

[MattM92]

Adam Proteau ‏@Proteautype

Still with this nonsense? Dude favorited a tweet. Maybe he really did like it and wanted it to come true. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe he favorited it to read it later or because he thought it was funny that the media actually thinks it could happen. If this is what the Toronto media is using as the backbone of their argument then this is an extremely flimsy argument that isn't even worth discussing.

Two of the potential angles -- Subban going through arbitration and then possibly signing with TOR next summer as well as Tim Leiweke being hell-bent to pull off a mega signing like he did with Toronto FC -- which helped fuel the Stamkos-wants-to-go-home speculation are now dead in the water.

You won't see Proteau dwell on that, though.

 

[FDfranklin]

good find

 

[DFC]

I'm pretty surprised at how good/informative that was. Got me pumped to see Johnson this year, and also excited about his attitude in general. Can't have too many guys like that.

Thanks for posting.

 

[Brie]

Thanks for the TJ video, it was great. I hope that he will be even better next season with more experience.

Salo is still a free agent. He may have just been in town and swung by. Probably still has some friends on the team that were skating.
