Player of the Week: Steven Stamkos's Stache

Steven Stamkos has been playing absolutely phenomenally thus far this season - 21 goals in 22 games (working towards 50 in 50) and 38 points thus far, giving him end of season projections of 78 goals and 141 points. Crosby is a close second to him in points with 36 but he has played one more game than Stammer and his successes only seem to motivate Stamkos to work harder (and vice versa).

Yeah, So Stammer is doing well. But I sort of expect that from him now. So when I was watching the highlights from the game against the Rangers, I was kind of like 'Yep, there he goes again." Until it showed a close up of his face. I thought to myself 'Hmm, what a weird camera angle... It's casting a shadow on his upper lip almost as if... OH MY GOD, HE HAS A STACHE!!!!!"

Remember the time he told us all about this pirate Halloween costume from when he was little and his mom used tea leaves to give him a fake beard? Then he told us that he was still working on his beard today.



Really, all I can think is: is there anything this kid can't do? He doubled his goals scored and points from his first year to his second and all signs indicate he will improve those totals this year as well. And THEN, somehow, he puts his mind to growing better facial hair and poof! Moustache!
