Many players seem to have their best years, either before they come, or once they leave Toronto.
For example, Tukka Rask, Brad Boyes, Freddy Modin, Aki Berg. Even Big Nik Antropov is doing well in Atlanta. The list could go on and on.
But should we be adding Lee Stempniak to that list?
He was just traded to Phoenix, but is already lighting it up!
3 games played, 3 goals, 1 assist, 4 points, and a plus 6!
Pro-rate that for a season it makes 82 goals, 21 assists, 103 points, plus 164 (ok, maybe he wouldn't hit these stats...)
This is a player that scored 27 goals in 06/07.
Did we give up on Lee too soon?

TONIGHT'S GAME
The Buds play Tampa Bay tonight... watch for Stamkos he has been on fire lately. A GTA native, who I am sure will have friends/family in the stands.
I predict a hat trick!
A baby Stamkos!

ReplyDeleteHis last goal gave him 20 on the year!
