We can " move the deck chairs" .. and we should but until Cooper and Stamkos are gone .. this is loser franchise .. sad but true.

I'm pissed at 91 but trading him basically shuts their Cup window down forever unless they get a huge piece back.

Teams need leadership and he has NEVER produced .. or been healthy.. in playoffs.. sorry but any team he is captain will lose

I respectfully disagree

Ranger fan here. Hey Tampa, what the hell? We need you to win the Cup so we get your 1st rd pick. If you lose, how about trading you the second for Cally and the 1st?

I'll take it!

why blame stamkos. Exactly what can he do about a team filled with guys 5'10 and under getting pounded on the boards relentlessly?

This team is too small. This isn't regular season. People are gonna goon it up, rough it up, do what it takes to throw you off your game.
And they do.

TB even tried at the end there. With hitting bob causing the scrum that occurred at the end of the game. They snow showered him earlier. Ran into him in the beginning.

The reason washington could come back on CBJ is they had the size to match up and give it right back to them. TB lacks it. It's not Stamkos fault the GM gave him a team full of small player and said go out there and win. He should know better.
