Bolts, Stamkos deserve the circus that awaits in Toronto

TAMPA — Ah, Toronto, center of the hockey world. Yes, kids, it’s possible to proclaim yourself the center of the hockey world even when the last time your home team lifted the Stanley Cup was shortly after the Earth cooled.

In Toronto, Tuesday is a holiday.

It’s Steven Stamkos Day.

Lightning at Maple Leafs.

How tweet it is.

I wonder if Stamkos likes.

Yes, it’s all over but Leafs fans forming a human chain around the Lightning hotel, or members of the 1967 Leafs, the city’s last NHL champion, delivering a sheet cake to Stamkos.
