Post-Game Talk: Tampa Bay @ Preds 2 pm CST Oh the weather outside is frightful…

[Top 6 Spaling]

Relentless gear of all types have been marked down drastically.

Perdrific gear arriving soon! Set your notifications.

The only gear I'd pick up this Black Friday is branded paper bags

Yeah I am sure someone can link the stuff, but Emma Lingan seems to think Stamkos doesn't think some guys are putting in the work. He was close to naming some names but did not.

I hope his name is listed in there cause he has stunk this season 5v5.

This team is a mess.

I would love to hear who he thinks is the issue. Couldnt be that his line (Stamkos, Sissons, Marchessault) has the lowest P/60 of all forwards not named Tomasino (waived) and Svechkov. Wouldnt want the expensive players putting in anything 5v5. Probably guys like Fabbro and Tomasino. Wonder if he has been whispering in Trotz' ear some

No you didn’t!

Carrier puck watching on the last 2 goals against….again.

Stamkos has a spicy post game quote about having thoughts what is wrong and then didn't actually say.

$8M for a power play merchant probably is up there somewhere.

 

[wmupreds]

Yeah even if Stamkos is right he ain't the guy to be delivering that message

Tampa had the cap space to keep their franchise legend and chose not to. That should have set off massive alarm bells.

 

[bdub24]

Didn’t even know there was a game today. Guess I will be missing this one.

I didn’t realize it was an early start….ooops

Yeah - cause he was a scoring machine…..

 

[herzausstein]

Our leading scorers have 4 5v5 goals. Stamkos may have 7G but only 1 5v5. Marchessault also only has 1 5v5 G. That line is useless for the majority of their icetime.

Fortunate mistake

It was on NHL Network anyway, so it basically didn't happen. I'm not sure they even count it in the standings.

If it didn't start with "I'm washed" then I call bullshit.

What is a ? is that if they had done any game film watching or deeper stat analysis, they would have understood he was largely a mediocre 5v5 guy that was reliant on PP production (playing with Kucherov, Hedman, and Point!).

So either they realized that and STILL thought he was worth $8M a year. Or they relied solely on basic counting stats and were oblivious. Or else ownership had a hand in it. All 3 of those possibilities are really depressing.
