So you're telling me that if the love of your life walked out on you, jumped in the bed with another person and then screams from the top of their lungs how awesome they are and how they have always love them, you wouldn't feel the slightest bit bitter or angry? Yeah, ok....

Where did St. Louis say anything about always loving New York? Where did he call a press conference to tell everyone how happy he was? Neither happened. He was asked questions. He answered. He isn't shoving it in Tampa Bay's face, Tampa Bay is choosing to follow everything he says. Every year, there is a player or two who got traded at the deadline to a team that makes it to the finals, and they all say the same stuff St. Louis is saying.

Honestly, what do you expect him to say. When his career is over you'll hear him say how much he loved playing in Tampa, but right now in the Finals....he's going to be talking about New York.

I look forward to that day. Tampa fans are like elephants. We never forget.

I think he's done a lot of damage to his legacy with the Lightning. Which is fine. He wanted to leave.

Don't let Jimbro83 read this article or he may stamp his feet and refuse to have civil conversations with you from now until the end of time.

Talk about stamping your feet, how many times can Tampa fans tear into St. Louis , what do want him to say NY is nothing compared to Tampa, I miss Tampa, have some closer and show some class, using your blog as a tool to deface your greatest player is wrong

Riley- Are you close to Moncton?
- TBolts4

yes . i go to school there, only reason i'm not there this week in lock down is cause i'm doing my on the job training. lucky, eh.. they have no clue how to handle people like this. 99% of their jobs here are dealing with citizens who speed, or run a stop sign. the RCMP is not prepared for this at all, and he has most likely been prepared for months/years

The way I see it is he is in NY he is in the Stanley Cup Finals so get over it. Nothing you can do about it now. He is laughing his butt off right now playing in NY

No - because no matter how much you love someone, someone else is tired of putting up with their sh!t. And you can always sleep with her sister or friends now.

Exactly, they act like St. Louis was standing in the locker room and said "Hey boys I've got an announcement" "I love NY"

I know it's so trendy to hate on NY!

If we're sticking with the metaphor...

Does this mean TB is supposed to bring Richards back?

ITS A BLOG. its HIS blog. if you don't like it, don't read it, people write worse blogs, and theres nothing wrong with this blog at all. marty leaving was fine, his reasons were fine, but dont go to NY and do the exact opposite of what you said. "Personal reasons and lets just leave it at that" Fine. "Big market, STANLEY CUP, ITS WHAT I ENVISIONED, I CAME HERE TO WIN A CUP, BIG MARKET, BIG MARKET, BIG MARKET, PLAYOFFS, BIG MARKET"

Yeah that's what I figured. A childhood friend of mine is a RCMP and last i heard he was in Moncton... Been trying to get a hold of him but no answer... understandably... Hopefully they get that guy soon.

Is that what St. Louis did or are you just exaggerating a lot.

Hopefully they catch him real quick. Very scary stuff.

Wow, a fan of a traditional market now following the ins-and-outs of another franchise and acting as though you're an authority (and you clearly haven't watched the Marty saga unfold over the last year, as your comments dictate).

Nope! Never seem that before!

It's just us dumb Tampa fans who don't understand hockey. I'm glad we have the benevolent Rangers faithful to tell us how to feel about one of our former stars who screwed the team, the fanbase and hamstrung us right in the middle of a playoff run.

Sure glad you're here to set us straight!

How would you know if you liked it, if you didn't read it? Wouldn't you need to read it first before making up your mind on whether you liked it or not?

You think too much, your estrogen levels must be high right now?

PS: if Richards is boughtout by the Rangers, bringing him back would be a good thing. TB could use that veteran presence.
