I was here when he was drafted, I was here when he hit 60, I was here when he broke his leg, I was here when he won 2 Stanley Cups and I was here for his 500th goal! What an amazing player and captain! A true Lightning Legend!
Ovi. Sid. Stammer. Three absolute legends who will go down as the greatest offensive players of a generation. So awesome to be able to cheer for one his whole career like we Bolts fans have!
Not going to lie Stamkos ceremony made me tear up. I remember when Stamkos got drafted to his multiple injuries to winning 2 cups. Stamkos is the greatest Lightning player and captain. Love Stamkos man!
It is very fitting that Phil Esposito, the Godfather of Tampa Bay hockey and one of the greatest goal scorers to ever play in the NHL, is narrating this video. Paying tribute to a man who has represented Tampa with class and professionalism. Stammer is just another notch on proving Phil right: that Tampa could become a hockey town and Stammer is the personification of Phil's vision. Lets Go Lightning! ⚡⚡⚡
I still remember leading up to the draft in 08 when we were talking about him being the likely 1st overall pick, and watching that video of him on Sarnia doing that insane behind the back shootout move and being in awe. 15 years later and nothings changed. One of the best shooters ever in the league, crazy to think if he stayed healthy and there weren’t so many shortened seasons in his career we’d have had this celebration and video like 3-4 years ago at least. And he’s such a fucking great guy too. Absolute pure class act who’s respected by every single player, coach, and fan around the league. Truly a generational talent. Keep it up Stammer, you’re already guaranteed the hall, but let’s keep pushing for more
The greatest Tampa Bay athlete in history. Damn I love this organization. Jeff Vinik is the greatest owner in all of sports and gave Stamkos the ceremony he deserved.
MEN: Apparently there's a UA-cam bug where there's no audio on mobile... it should fix itself at some point. For now watch on PC 👍
It is working for me on mobile.
I had no problem watching this great video boss man⚡️👍

Me too. He has had 3 serious injuries and fought through all of them. Congratulations Stammer!
Me also he became great

Malkin & Kane too
@@JHockeyFan I believe "Smurfquake" was talking about Ovi, Sid, and Stammer being three legendary captains of our generation.
@Anthony Gironda I was mainly mentioning the 500 goal club that are active. In the ceremony Sid & Ovi recorded messages for Stammer.
Phil, you legend! Go Stammer.
Loved Phil’s emphasis on “shoot the puck” in the video. Congratulations captain!
We all know where Phil stands on that concept!

Thank you!

Phil built ALL of this!

Do you think Vinik was thinking "OK, this should be the last gold stick for Stammer this season...right? Right????"
