Steven Stamkos is one of the best players to ever play the game. He broke into the scene back in 2008 after he was selected 1st overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
He quickly became one of the leagues best goal scorers after scoring 51 goals in his second season in the league, and 60 goals in his fourth season.
He is now a two-time Stanley Cup champion, and who knows where he could have been in the goal scoring and point races right now if his career wasn't derailed by injuries during his prime.
Stamkos recently played in his 1000th game, and his mom had this very touching message for him:
Dear Steven...
Love, Mom. 💙 pic.twitter.com/ux9h1MPdWH— x - Tampa Bay Lightning (@TBLightning) April 11, 2023
