Stamkos SUCKS, guy played beyond terrible in the finals.

I don't think he won a single puck battle along the boards all series.

Not to mention he probably missed the net like 100 times.

Vancouver should win the cup the way the Seahawks won the Super Bowl.... Through Defense.

Just keep drafting defense and shut down forwards and create a team that plays the most boring style of hockey in history, but at least it will be successful.

Both teams in the finals had the ability to play shutdown and play offence ...they used both throughout the playoffs

So do leaf fans still want Stamkos?

I do not understand this hatred for all things Bieska. Is he the target du jour? The guy bleeds blue and white. He still had multiple serviceable years and is also the guy you want talking to the young guys like Corrado and even Tanev.

ARE YOU KIDDING! Stamkos tied with Kessel for goals in the final series... of course they want him!

Christian Erhoff is coming to town. Ek said so.

Hatred? To me it's a matter of getting younger and looking towards the future. On the right side there's Tanev, Bieksa, Clendening & Corrado...easy choice if you ask me.

They'd still have Hamhuis and Edler as veterans, which is all you need.

Benning: Dorsett is a culture carrier, sat beside Bo in locker room & helped as linemate. "We want our players rubbing shoulders with him."

He's also a shadow of his former self and too expensive to keep as a 7/8 D-man.

Damn it. I just realized that I was cheering for Tampa.

Credit to TB for putting up a strong fight but this final (like this playoffs) was only ever going to one team IMO.

This is how I see Bieksa talking to Tanev.

Sorry, sorry about that, you get him, oops! sorry, I thought that was going to go different, nice catch, sorry I missed that one.

Then our team would be the Predators.

Who still can't get past the first round (2011 is the only year they've made it out of the first round in their history)

I hope we trade markstrom not Lack. Markstrom had a .930 save percentage in AHL and came up and blew it. Lack had solid numbers this year, sure his playoff numbers were bad, but other then Bo everyone played bad. Plus Lacks only 2 years older so the younger thing is not a big deal
