Ty Anderson: Lightning captain Steven Stamkos out indefinitely

Bummer.

Terrible news! They need to find a way to win while he is out. They did it last year.

So who gets the call up? Richard? Peca? Dumont?

How's Peca doing in the A?

Bummer Man. Feel bad for the guy.. Hope he's back soon. He's a true talent.

Man that sucks! Hope he isn't out long.

Seems like a lot of injuries over the last 24 hours or so Gaudreau, Stamkos, Hall all hurt.

How long is the typical time to recover from this type of injury?

Brutal. Hope he comes back as soon as possible with these injuries.

2-3 months optimistically for a complete tear

Really depends on the year 3-4 weeks or could be 2-3 months

your first "paragraph" is just one really long sentence.

Goddammit Stammer really deserved a big season, perhaps a 50 goal season again. Started so well and ONCE AGAIN he gets sidelined for a long period of time. Feel bad for our captain.

Would not get chocked if Condra gets a couple of views. He has been playing fairly well in Cuse (2+8 in 11gp) and i think Coop feels bad for him.

guy cannot catch a break the last couple years

Feel bad for Stammer, plus how much longer will Drouin be out??

Well at least tonight's game wouldn't matter with or without Stammer.

6-1 Tampa.

More like three weeks if a small tear though.

Right but from what I understand it is not a small tear whatsoever. Newest update today says at least 3-4 months

Also depends on how its torn as well as the severity... I've seen two people recover in 2 weeks from a small one that was torn "the good way". But due to the lengthy time table, seems he got it as bad as possible.

So... if Stammer goes on LTIR for 3-4 months. That could work out well for the Lightning to add a meaningful salary to the books for the rest of the season and allow them to load up for a cup run when he is back.
Are there any targets that make some sense?

Bob MacKenzie says 4-6 months.

Nah its cool... the Lightning tried to resign him and offered a similar two year deal but he went to Florida where he saw more playing time. Can't fault him for that.

Drouin is back, the lines tonight were:

Palat-Namestnikov-Kucherov
Killorn-Johnson-Point
Drouin-Filppula-Callahan
Boyle-Paquette-Brown

I think a lot of teams would take that lineup which went to Game 7 of the ECF last year ... I think they will be ok even with Stamkos gone for 4+ months. It will be a challenge but I think they will be up to it.
