Tampa and Tampa fans were very lucky to have drafted Stammer and everything he did for that franchise.

I notice Stamkos thanked alot of names, JBB was not mentioned. To be fair Yzerman wasn't either, GM's aren't typically thanked.

Great article. I had no idea he lost a child during the bubble, that just adds so much more perspective.

Legend. Hope he returns to the organization one day.

I thought a beat writer posted he had left the bubble and everyone was losing their minds speculating about it as well.

I just read this and it made me wonder if someone was chopping onions around me as a non-Lightning fan. Stamkos is just one of those class acts and reading this not only reminds you of that, but also really highlights just what heights the Bolts went to with him wearing the C.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Love you Stammer!

 

[T REX]

Wow. We are blessed to have such a great man represent our city for so long.

Just a freaking epic individual. There is a name noticeably left out of that article. Not a single mention.

Good luck Stammer! You'll always be a Bolt.

 

[OffBy1]

He has always seemed like a character guy ever since I saw his first interviews as a rookie. Thanks for sharing that article and I'm glad Stammer shared all of that with us. I won't be hating if he scores a hat trick on us this year.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

it’s only right that we draft Carter so he can eat cereal out of the cup again..

Yes cooper and vinik were thanked but not JBB

 

[Stammertime91]

Oh captain, my captain.

Always.

 

[Rschmitz]

First time in my life I’ve felt this weird nostalgic cocktail of being happy and angry all at once but this does it. Thanks for the memories Stammer, I think I will enjoy your retirement ceremony a little bit more than this.

 

[Master P]

Ya'll can't ignore it forever.

Time to rip the band-aid off.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Very classy move by Stamkos. A beautiful thank you indeed from him. You guys were very lucky to have him and I wish him the best. That cereal story about his son is what it's all about you just hear stuff like this with the Cup no other sport can match something like that with their trophies !

I would've been content never seeing this in my life.

 

[T REX]

Weird to see such a low post count.

Weird AF. Dude is all class.

I’m just glad he went to a team I have no animosity towards. That still looks so wrong though.

Exactly. And nope, it doesn't look right and it never will, but can you imagine if he ended up on the Bruins, Cats or the Leafs? Or, my god, the Islanders?!

Stam is the best

Biden's response to seeing Stammer in yellow.

 

[OffBy1]

Part of Nashville's identity is terrible uniforms. Stammer deserves better.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

So weird seeing him in another jersey. I don't think I believe its real yet.
