In 2015, not many months after Tampa Bay lost the Stanley Cup Final in six games, Steven Stamkos sat down with George Stroumboulopoulos at NHL Media Day. It was one of Strombo’s round tables with players, and Stamkos took his place at the table next to Ottawa Senators captain Erik Karlsson and Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby.
At about the six minute mark, Strombo turned to Karlsson and asked, "What's the best goal you ever scored?" After Karlsson weighed in, Crosby answered that his favorite goal was one against Tampa, where he slid down the ice on his side while knocking the puck out of the air and into the net.
