This kid is simply amazing. I remember just last season we seemed to cop a fair bit, especially in the first half of the season for not producing (with minimal ice-time it must be said). But this season the kid is picking up where he left off last season, he's been amazing so far this season.
Shorthanded goal + assist + shootout goal last night, he is an amazing hockey player.

He is amazing - but that shorthanded goal was lame (from a Wild fan's perspective).
It takes A LOT for a youngin like that to make Team Canada. Look at the last Olympics, 2 players among the best in the league that year both of which scored 40 odd goals 100+ points and 1 of which lead his team to win the stanley cup were left out due to the "experience" factor(Crosby and Staal).
Hopefully they've learned from their mistakes though. But Stamkos does have some massive competition to overtake to earn his spot.

If he continues at this rate and does NOT make team Canada then they deserve to lose...
I really think he's played himself on to Team Canada, and if he continues to play this well for the next two months, he'll definitely be on Team Canada.
If I were making the team, I know he'd be on it right now.

Brilliant move by Melrose giving the kid 5 minutes of ice time per game. That guys a genius coach. Remember when he coached Wayne freaking Gretzky and they won all those cups together.

Its funny how a year changes things, last year everything I read in these forums early on was this kid is a bust. Now pretty much everyone in here thinks he is amazing because he is quite good.
Its just ridiculous how much people flip-flop in this forum.

While there were a few people who thought he was a bust the far majority didn't. Just a few idiots who thought every single #1 pick is going to score a point per game at age 18.
But these threads do give Lightning fans some hope and anything that makes Melrose look like the clueless idiot he is is always welcome.
