Matt Ross: Battle for Florida: RD 1, GM 4

Tampa not going to go quietly

I swear to god why wouldn't you have a man on Stamkos at all times, like flypaper on a fly?

Steven Stamkos has been buzzing around the Panthers like an irritating fly, yet the Panthers act like he is invisible. It's so predictable that he will be standing at the left faceoff circle waiting for a one timer at Bobrosky. Do they put a man on him to frustrate him or negate his shot, NO! Why after every game that he scores on the Panthers they don't adjust to prevent him from doing the obvious is beyond my comprehension.

At least when TB is on the PP, it’s either Stamkos open over there or it’s Point standing alone right in the slot.
