It’s been an odd year for Steve Yzerman; the former Detroit Red Wings superstar built a masterpiece in Tampa Bay before flying the coop on the eve of training camp at the beginning of the season.
The Lightning have cruised to a record-matching regular season recording 62 wins; the same total Steve Yzerman led his Detroit Red Wings club to in 1995/96. If you’re Yzerman, it must be pretty special knowing you were a part of both teams’ to ever win 62 games in a season.
One as a Captain who recorded 36 goals and added 59 assists totaling 95 points in 80 contests, and on the other hand, he was Picasso painting the perfect team in Tampa Bay by making excellent draft picks and blending them with existing players along with all the players primarily acquired from the New York Rangers.
