BRANDON — There are basically two kinds of Steve Stamkos stalkers in this world. There’s the man wearing all black who followed Stamkos around Montreal for part of Tuesday, so much that Stamkos happily snapped a photo of him and posted it on Twitter.
Then there’s the rest of us.
All of us other stalkers, fighting through this jungle of silence in search of Stamkos’ and the Lightning’s intentions as the NHL trade deadline looms.
Both sides insist they’re abiding by a media blackout, though someone purposely did a lousy job of it when they leaked the Lightning’s first offer to Stamkos was eight years, $8.
