2015 Stanley Cup Final: On Steven Stamkos' scoring slump
Don't be so hard on yourself, kid.As the leader of this young Tampa Bay Lightning team in more ways than one, he's said and done all the right things that we, as fans, want a leader to say and do when faced with such a heartbreaking result: losing the Stanley Cup Final after a grueling-but-exciting run.
He's taken the blame on himself for not producing. He's put others first, invoking names like Rick Bowness and Brenden Morrow, long-time veterans of this league that are still waiting for their chance to hoist the Stanley Cup, and may never get to.
The pain, and frustration, and regret: he wears it on his sleeve.
