Steve Stamkos Makes History with 500th Goal

Author Zito
January 19th 3:51 PM
Is there nothing Steve Stamkos can't do? He just made history with his 500th Goal so there is nowhere to go but up.

It couldn’t have happened to a better man or a better team. The amount of damage hockey puts on your body your lucky to push past 300 let alone 500. But Steve Stamkos makes history with his 500th Goal, being one of the only 47 players in NHL history to do it but 1 of only 14 players to do it with the same team.

🗣 "THERE IT IS. NUMBER 500!!!"

You already knooooow we had Mish on the mic for Stammer's 500th! pic.twitter.com/YtFeeU0xzt

— Tampa Bay Lightning (@TBLightning) January 19, 2023

Stamkos took a pass from Alex Killorn and put a backdoor tap in right past the Canucks goalie Spencer Martin to open the scoring barely 5 minutes into the first period on Wednesday. Normally when the bench clears it’s going to be a good fight but not in this case. The Tampa Bay Lightning cleared the bench to cheer on everyone’s favorite centre. He is currently only 1 of 3 active skaters to have over 500 goals. The other two are Washington’s Alex Ovechkin and Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby.

There is still time for him to catch Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 goals. If Steve Stamkos is making History with 500th Goal, then there is nothing he can’t do! [Source ABC Action News]

Steve Stamkos Makes History with 500th Goal

Tampa Bay Lightning Fans Say Photos Prove Goal That Led to Loss Shouldn't Have Counted

If you stayed up late last night, it was a frustrating loss for the Tampa Bay Lightning. After a dominant Game 3 win Monday night and having the lead for most of the night last night in Game 4, it felt like the Bolts were about to even up the series.

By now you know, that didn’t happen. The Colorado Avalanche were able to come back and tie the game in the 3rd period. That’s how it ended in regulation so Game 4 went into overtime. The next goal would be crucial. After 2 games that were complete blowout wins by several goals, this next one goal would be the difference between a 2 to 2 series tie or a commanding 3 games to 1 lead. Unfortunately for the Lightning, it was the latter. And many fans think the goal shouldn’t have counted because the Avalanche had too many players on the ice at the time of the score… and they’re not alone.

  • The photo freeze frame that has now gone viral...

    Clearly there were 6 men on the ice. That would mean not only should the goal not have counted, but Colorado should have been penalized and the Lightning should have gone on the power play.

    The Colorado Avalanche had 6 men on the ice during their OT goal. The Tampa Bay Lightning were screwed. This is not up for debate. pic.twitter.com/milIm2TRco

  • Another look...

    This one from Bolts TV host Paul Kennedy…

    Too many men. @Avalanche Nazi@ Kadri comes on (far right of first photo) and Nathan MacKinnon is not yet within the frame coming off. Second screen capture show MacKinnon arriving with 5 other skaters departed on the attack.@TBLightning Jon Cooper was correct. pic.twitter.com/MXN8BJ9qk2

  • See it in real time!

    This video tells the story.

    This is the most damming footage I’ve seen yet.

    As Nazem Kadri (the winning goal scorer) gets on the ice it takes MacKinnon over 5 seconds to get back to the bench and he’s clearly much further than 5 feet away. pic.twitter.com/9ede4C6ZCU

  • Conspiracy?

     

    To complicate the matter, check out the two different score sheets!

  • Coach Cooper's statement last night...

    Amazing professionalism… I think I would’ve gone full nuclear. An emotional Coach Jon Cooper last night held back some serious rage and said he would gather his thoughts and address the issue today.

    "You’re gonna see what I mean when you see the winning goal. My heart breaks for the players because we probably still should be playing.”

    Jon Cooper only took one question post-game, and was clearly not happy about the Avalanche's OT winning goal. pic.twitter.com/g6DAwp475i

  • The NHL's statement... seriously!?

    Didn’t see it. Oh well.

  • It's not just fans and media with a Lightning bias saying it...

    🧵5/5:🥇goes to @NHL. The winning overtime goal in Stanley Cup Final Game 5 came with too many @Avalanche on the ice, so obvious it's noted on the official scoresheet!

    I'm not a fan of either team. I agree with @espn analysts: this was not close.

    A real league would replay OT! https://t.co/8hruMKzJN5 pic.twitter.com/EghyUSt1hw

    — Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) June 23, 2022
  • Beyond the goal not being allowed, few are acknowledging this important point...

    Not only did the botched too many men miss give Colorado the win, but if called correctly that's a Lightning power play.

    Momentum was against the Bolts and the TB power play has been bad, but it just takes one one-timer from Stamkos against the run of play to tie the series.

  • How DENVER TV called it...

    Funny they don’t even mention it.
