If you ask most hockey fans — both knowledgeable and those in it for the fun of the game — they’ll tell you, to a person, that Steven Stamkos is a shooter. A trigger-man. A sniper. A man who works on what makes him special 90% of the time.
Except now, LoserPoints is saying that Stamkos has become a playmaker, not a shooter. Huh. How ‘bout that. [Raw Charge]
The change in Stamkos’s scoring was abrupt. He’d never had more assists than goals in a season. To go from that to over double was quite a shift.
