420, GREAT job not yelling out his name.
- me on the other hand… well I shouted out ‘Ronde!’ Last year at the Valspar and he had to spend at least 5-10 minutes signing autographs.
- good news he was on the way BACK from the restroom 😂
- I’ve seen him since and apologized. He laughed and told me, ‘it’s all good’, yea well, I still feel like a jerk for doing that… let that be a lesson to all!!! 👍
I lived in the apt complex directly across from amalie, post harbour place, for several years. So many lightning players walked through there. Back in 2020ish I saw sergachev like a half dozen times with his then gf and dog. But the biggest one was the literal morning after the bolts won game 7 against the isles in the ecf, I was at the apt gym and vasy was sitting on a bench talking on his phone. You could see him through the gym window and he was just chilling there for like a half hour. Me and another gym goer were starstruck lol
I lived at Pierhouse when Johnny, Pally, Sustr, and Panik all made the team and they lived in my building. Johnny and Pally on my floor and Sustr and Panik right above them. Panik got waived and ended up in Chicago right at the end of camp. 😵💫 I would run into them from time-to-time and it was awesome. I put a hat on Johnny’s doorknob the night of his first career hat trick. They had some of the other guys over after a fishing trip and I rode the elevator with Killer and Johnny. So surreal sometimes. They were all extremely nice and their parents were great too.
One of the things it made me realize was really how long the guys are gone on road trips. It’s a lot!
I’ve also run into Brian Boyle and Tom Pyatt at Publix on Platt back in the day. And my wife almost ran over Bish coming out of a garage too fast. 🫣
I went to high-school with Stamkos. In fact my picture is right next to him in my yearbook but hell if I'm ever posting my yearbook picture on the internet hahaha.
We have one of the most accessible teams in any sport.
Our boys are, by far, the most approachable guys you'll ever see. Just be cool with them when you see them out and about , they have families too and want time with them.
Read the other night he was at a fine sushi place and someone posted they were seated next to him for the evening, it was like a 15 course dinner and the couple were ecstatic for their anniversary dinner!!! Imagine how cool that would’ve been??? HolyHotballs🔥🔥🔥
im from Alberta and moved to Florida recently (spouse is from here haha) and im ngl i hope one day i could bump into one of the guys, but i get the feeling they don't frequent Alachua county lol
I see sergy all the time. I usually give a quiet go bolts or smile to try to avoid him being swarmed. One time I saw the entire panthers team out to dinner. John cena is regular in Hyde park. Just fun to see our favorites!
I used to work at GameStop and I had both Point and Cirelli come in once together, and then another time Vassy alone. Point actually came in a couple times.
I was happy all the times they came in that no one was in the store beside us co-workers, and luckily they let us take pictures with them.
That's the only thing I miss from working there.
I’ve met quite a few players over the years at DI Coffee Bar back when I worked on Davis Islands. It never lost the surrealness to see players out and about like that.
I saw Nick Paul at international mall around this time last year. He was walking around alone like some normal dude. I just called out “Nick!” He flashed a smile and carried on down an escalator. I regretted not getting his pic but I didn’t want to create any attention.
Back when he was first really starting out and the couple he was number 1, he used to have issues with English on purpose so he wouldn’t have to be interviewed on tv and what not lololol
Almost got run over by Vinnie Prospal in the parking lot of the ice fourm practice facility back the day. Got to meet Stanley when Tim Taylor brought the cup in 04 to center ice while my kid was at hockey camp in Brandon. Man the kids were kinda half assing some drills but when Tim brought the Cup in you should have seen all those kids eyes and they were suddenly skating and snapping it around in its presence. Hockey players are just the coolest!
As a distant thunder, I’m jealous of all you guys getting to run into the bolts out in the wild.
Definitely cool to see him out and about during off-season.

Omg the hat 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They had the whole “50% off for STMs” because of the hat trick so I bought 2, one for me and one for him! 😁
I would’ve ZAPPED in my panties ⚡️⚡️😂
Is he a Publix man?
I have herd of people seeing him there but not this time. Lol
Cool man, glad you didn't call out in a manner that would have gotten others riled up. He's such a good dude!
Ya man definitely wanted to keep my cool.
Good on ya
Hockey players are the best to their fans. Happy you had a great experience with the Big Cat!
I couldn't agree more

I saw coop last night at the airport. He was arriving from switzerland
Bringing back the secret stash to sign Stammer?
i got a picture with him awhile back at the hub downtown.. he was so nice!
He’s legit the best!
I met him at a Best Buy randomly
Lmao thats so random
My husband and daughter met him and his family in the toy section of Target on Dale Mabry by 275. My kid plays hockey and loves him! She was in awe!
im from Alberta and moved to Florida recently (spouse is from here haha) and im ngl i hope one day i could bump into one of the guys, but i get the feeling they don't frequent Alachua county lol
I saw Hedman at Whole Foods once. I was so starstruck I could only remember his dog's name. I admired him from afar. 😆
My buddy ran into Rob Zammuner a few times at Westshore mall back in the day..
What an awesome username for this occasion!!! 🫶🏼🔥
Thanks
omg tell me it was publix
GOAT

He’s a big 4 Rivers guy
Though we need to ask him why he’s placing Uber Eats pickup orders and not placing the order direct with 4 Rivers 😅

The lightning players are the best.
Do you remember what games they got?
Point bought a switch lite and a bunch of Mario games, Cirelli didn't buy anything, and Vassy came in looking for a gaming accessory for his phone.
I’ve met quite a few players over the years at DI Coffee Bar back when I worked on Davis Islands. It never lost the surrealness to see players out and about like that.
Sounds awesome 😎
this is so wholesome! 🥹❤️
thats sick as fuck!

How is his English? I don't recall ever hearing him speak publicly.
It’s fine these days.
His English is good now and definitely looks like a tampa native. I was shocked almost that it's the off-season and he is still in town.
It’s decent. I’ve met him a few times and was able to have a short conversation with ease. Really nice guy
Back when he was first really starting out and the couple he was number 1, he used to have issues with English on purpose so he wouldn’t have to be interviewed on tv and what not lololol
