I hate the "PROD" stat on ESPN.
Which is simply how many minutes it takes for a guy to register a "point".
But after last night... Stamkos has a 2:47 (minutes he played) PROD.

Good to see Stamkos play AND score!!!
How can anybody not love that!


As much as I'm rooting for Dallas... I'd love to see a guy/leader like Stamkos hoist that cup.
For he & Hedman to take the contracts they did... it creates the ability to build a great team.
THIS is the kind of year where teams win.
1. Three superstars on discounted contracts: Stamkos ($8.5m), Point ($6.75m), Hedman ($7.9m)
2. Two peaking RFAs on ELCs: Cirelli, Sergachev,
3. Some discount role-playing vets on bargains (Shatty, Bogo, Maroon, Goodrow, Coleman).
*. And the supadupa stars who got PAID because of the conditions above (Kucherov & Vas).

Props to the Lighting.
