Player Discussion: Tampa Bay Lightning All Time Player Ranking #6

[JoVel]

This should be quite obvious.

1. Nikita Kucherov 87,9 %
2. Martin St. Louis 46,2 %
3. Victor Hedman 59,4 %
4. Steven Stamkos 50,0 %
5. Andrei Vasilevskiy 78,9 %

Vinny, easily. Post lockout to 2008, Vinny was the man. It's a damn shame injuries shaved off so much time. I remember watching him live in 2007 and thinking this is the best player I've seen play the game. He was everywhere and had something special others didnt at the time. He was just that good for that season. I really miss the guy tbh.

I don't think people realize how insane that top 6 is for a team that is only three decades old.

All time Top 6

Point-Stamkos-Kucherov
Richards-Vinny L-MSL

Honestly that Top 6 is too freaking deep. For a team that has only three decades worth of play, we are packing some serious fire power up front.

Easily Vinny here

Peak Lecavalier was probably the best player in Lightning history. With peak Stamkos we'd ask "Is he going to score 3 tonight?" With peak Kucherov we ask "Will he create 3 goals?" Despite the overwhelming greatness of Kucherov, as brief it was, peak Lecavalier was to this day just about the only other player than St. Louis where we could ask both questions on any given night.

We just didn't get peak Lecavalier long enough for him to rank higher. If Matt Cooke doesn't break his wrist, Lecavalier probably scores 1200 points and goes into the HHOF as a textbook late bloomer

Obligatory





My man literally slowed the game down, picked his corner and dished a cold-blooded snipe that would make Sakic, Hull, Lemieux, Ovechkin and Gretzky nod in approval

Edit: actually Gretz might have backhanded that but would have scored anyway

I think I never screamed like on that goal in my entire time as a Lightning fan.

The balls he had in 2004 to pull off this tying goal in the last few seconds

We almost had a historic moment on HF Lightning where everyone would unanimously agree on something, but someone went and voted for Khabibulin of all people.
