91 Days of Stamkos: Day 2, Maybe Melrose was right after all

This is Day 2 of 91 Days of Stamkos. If you missed Day 1, it’s here.

Remember how exciting it was after Steven Stamkos was drafted? The highlights from juniors, the expectations, the www.SeenStamkos.com website (don’t go there, it’s not about the Lightning anymore), Barry Melrose’s hair, the belief that there was no way they could be that bad two years in a row? The Rays were in the freaking playoffs! Those were good times.

Then things got weird. The Lightning started the season in Prague and lost. Then they came home and lost some more.
