Now's headman, battling to the puck along the side horse.

Garland goes in there as soon as may have, and it comes loose for the likely.

A little give it go attempt here, Colorne to Sorrelli now,

he's in a close to Stancoz, he scores.

There it is, lightning history.

Stephen Stancoz with goal number 500.

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen, history made by Stephen Stancos.

He becomes the 11th first overall pick to reach the 500 goal

plateau. He does it in under a thousand games, which is super, super impressive, considering that at one point I'm not so sure that we thought

that Stephen Stamcoz was gonna get there you know he had the the broken the

gruesome broken leg which ended up costing him a spot with the Olympic team.

Then you know the core surgery in which he missed an entire playoff run essentially did end up getting to raise the Stanley Cup during that season,

but I think when we look back on Stephen Stamco's career, we think of one that he had to endure a little bit.

You know, he didn't always get along with his coaches.

Some would say that he had a rougher start to his career even though I don't think that that's actually the case.

And he didn't really get along with John Cooper in his early tenure with the Tampa Bay Lightning and yet here we stand Stephen Stamco's

over a thousand points. Oh he's got 500 goals he's gonna eclipse the

the thousand game mark as well.

He's won a rocket Rashard.

He's one Stanley Cups.

He's the captain of his team.

He's the greatest player in his organization's history, no question.
