Steve Stamkos?

Doesn't surprise me at all that Simmons is making stuff up, but, at the same time, until he puts pen to paper, the whole "I want to stay with Tampa" stuff from Stamkos is the same kind of meaningless platitude just about every player spouts when they're in the least year of their contract.

Say what you want about Simmons but McKenzie doesn't seem to be the sort to just make stuff up.

He's not, but, at the same time, I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time he got inaccurate information from a trusted source. It happens to the best.

What's this in reference to? 
 
The thing that Simmons completely made up was his report that Stamkos' parents had moved to the Tampa Bay area. And that's what Stamkos refuted. Simmons was actually suggesting that that meant Stamkos was staying put.

Him telling the media that he wants to stay really doesn't change anything else that's been reported out there.
 
I imagine Tampa releasing a video of Stamkos sitting in a chair with cue cards just off camera and a man holding a gun off to his side: "I want to stay in Tampa.  I love it here.  I love the fans.  Smile reassuringly..er.."

Rather than a correction, I fully expect a 'Stamkos' parents have moved back to Toronto' story from Simmons tomorrow.

Simmons claimed his hot dog story was a miscommunication. I get that it happens. And as a columnist, he probably doesn't need more than one 'source' to publish something.
 
He will be making 10 million a year playing for his childhood favourite, living out his young dream, Captain of the Buds, and resting his head in Markham most nights. 
If you have ever been to a game in T.B (which is very similar to AZ), you will notice more opposition sweaters in the rink than home fans. So the times I saw the Leafs there it was a sea of white and Blue.
What would you think if you were SS and had earned the right to "come home".

If he's making $10M per for the Leafs, why would he bother living in Markham? He won't moving back in with his parents! He'll be living in the city, like everyone else who grew up in the suburbs and can afford to live on their own!

Maybe he wants to live really close to Tom's Burgers.


(...does Tom's Burgers still exist in Markham?  Highway 7, across from the Bowling Alley?)

As a recovering suburbanite, I believe I have the right to take such shots.
 
Hell he can live on Toronto island or Mississauga for all I care.  He is probably ready to get some family started so may choose Markam for sentimental reasons.  Come home Steve :'(

Listen, the guy doesn't want to sit in traffic when he drives home to cut his mom's lawn on the weekend.

Traffic? If I was making $10mil I'd be commuting via helicopter every day.

With the kind of money he'll be making, he could pay to have the entire street's lawns mowed without even feeling it!
