Michael quit feeding the trolls with these blogs... on Stamkos what some of the Leafs fans in here can't comprehend is no Tampa fan is saying he will not leave, they are saying they feel he stays... how hard is it to comprehend that its an opinion. As for the questions they were speculative and he answered like a classy guy would. For (frank)s sake this is two years away if he hasn't already signed and here we are talking about it, I want to talk about our new young Captain leading what I think is our good young team this coming season to the playoffs.

This isn't feeding the trolls.

This is covering the team during the off-season. When a player says or does something of note, I cover it.

I've got a good lineup of blogs set for most of August. Lots about the team, prospects, players, expectations. This Stamkos stuff is just in the news right now.

It's 2 years from now. Who knows how great or how Terrible the Leafs could be. Or, it could be that another team entirely is looking to be missing one piece up front and on the verge of greatness.
Personally, I think he stays in Tampa for a chance to win, and he doesn't go to TO unless they have a solid team in place.

Yeah highly doubt he comes if the team is still poop.

Apparently if you have an view that things may be different from what most want it is trolling. People need to realize there is difference of opinions and as a blogger you are there to view the different scenarios.

Then there'll be stuff on Nabokov, Boyle, Garrison, Drouin, Bishop, etc.

Thank you now I must go back to be a trolling ref as my views are different.

I understand there is a difference in opinions. Ive been saying as much in my post on this thread. No one's opinions are going to change everyone has different opinions there is no need to keep rehashing it over and over again.

You don't want him there.

It's not really rehashing anything. It's two blogs. One after the original 'favorite' and one after the comments. This is what I was hired to do. This is covering all things Tampa Bay Lightning.

EDIT - And the best part? Guess how many Stralman blogs I've written other than the one announcing his signing. One. One. Yup. One.

I'm not wanted...?
- Michael_Stuart

Nope. It's our harmonious paradise where we can be free men.....as long as Yeti approves.

You said you are following up this blog with a Stralman blog... and you know the same poop will happen. For some reason our team is a hot button for lots of other teams fans.

All I am saying is I like to talk about the Bolts, not have to read through multiples pages of Rangers or Leafs fans repeating the same thing over on these boards, if I wanted to do that I would go and read their boards.

Stralman is a member of the Lightning. Stamkos is a member of the Lightning. If other fans want to chime in, that's great. I'm sure Vancouver fans will chime in when I talk about Garrison, too.

When you have a good team that might lose players it will become a hot button and with some of the high end players/prospects you guys have people will show up.

I'm just going to find out where everyone lives and show up at people's door with an actual hammer.
