Yeah, from what I've read I get the feeling it was a lot more to do with Babcock that he was left off initially, and it was MSL more taken aback that Yzerman didn't defend him more fervently.

Wait...WAIT...WAAAAIIIT... no...noonononononono... we aren't doing the MSL thing again.

BRIAN BOYLE! THOUGHTS?!

The redwings offered flipper 5.5 per year for 5 years! He turned it down because he hates Babcock. Flipper took less for tampa 5 for 25.

I was thinking the same thing actually. I mean, I hadn't heard Stamkos hates him, but I know that there are players who don't want to play for him. Was curious if Stammer was one of them.

(I also don't think Toronto is going to get Babcock. And for the record, I don't think Toronto will get Tavares or McDavid or Jesus on their team either)

- SolidGoldBricks

That's too bad, because Jesus is one heckuva good hockey player, despite holding his stick in an awfully weird way.



I was going to write that I wondered if Jesus has a hand injury, but then realized that might result in a ban, so I didn't type it.

Terrible Corsi. Most overpaid UFA this summer.
- rangerdanger94


Yeah, I'm not totally sold on this signing yet. Truthfully, I was a little bit perplexed why you'd trade Thompson and bring in Boyle.

Okay, Boyle's bigger dude... but Thompson seemed to do the same job with better wheels, an inexplicable out-of-nowhere clutch ability, and had some long-term leadership experience with the Bolts.

if stamkos goes to toronto then fine, but say goodbye to every piece of talent you have (not much) because it will all be coming back to tampa in the trade and stamkos will be left carrying the team on his own

If you want stamkos what ever you do don't hire Babcock I'm sure shanny already knows this.

I'm new to hockey, but I don't think that's how free agency works.

That's totally how it works! Hence why NJ and Nashville got all those great new players* when Suter and Parise went to Minnesota.

He's fast and has a wicked shot. Would have to get an enforcer to play on his line though. Dudes keep punching him in the face and he just turns the other cheek..

Best part is the hockey hair though and he doesnt have to cover it up with a helmet either cause he was playing well before the rule change.

I think he signs a 8 year extension and then leaves for the Leafs. He still got a few realy good years left and could help them! I would be a happy with that, 16 years in Tampa and maybe 4-5 years in Toronto!

I love the dog days of August.

Tampa fans are advising Toronto fans not to hire Detroit's coach next year, because it will prevent Toronto fans from signing Stamkos two years from now.

Got it.

They should probably also wait 'til MSL retires, possibly after next year, and sign him as an assistant coach. That'll totally seal the deal.

Also, the winning lottery numbers on that day: 46-22-35

Stay tuned for Miss Cleo....

The only people that think this was a "statement" are leaf fans who are desperately dreaming.

On my commute to and from work I accidentally favorite like 50 tweets and follow like 10 new accounts because of my fat fingers
- rangerdanger94


He favourited two regarding him coming home.

It was like his 5th and 6th favourite respectably.

You guys should try google it works for me.

thats not what im saying.. im saying hes not on the team ... and do you think tampa lets him walk for nothing if they know he wants out? if stamkos is their 1 c they better be looking for some more top end talent because all of it will be coming to tampa if it ever happened, and stamkos would be alone
- RileyB77


I was just joking.

And the crazy ideas floating about relate to Stamkos wanting to go to Toronto as an FA. Meaning Toronto wouldn't have to trade all of their top talent. They'd deifinitely have to trade some though. Stevie-Y isn't an idiot.
