Steven Stamkos Flexes His Unreal Memory During Predators Introductory Press Conference

Steven Stamkos is no longer a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning after 16 seasons with the Bolts, and on Tuesday he was introduced as a member of the Nashville Predators.

It looks weird as hell to see anything other than a lightning bolt on Stamkos' chest, but it became immediately clear that he's a special hockey brain — or at least hockey memory — which he showed off at the presser.

Reporter Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean recalled a previous press conference in which Stamkos showed an uncanny ability to remember goals he had scored based on the date.

And I don't mean you say, "January 5, 2021," and he goes, "Oh, yeah, that was a good one." He knows specifics.

Fortunately, Daughtery showed up to the presser armed with a date to test Stammer's memory.

"For the most part, if I can kind of remember the game or which kind of goal it was," Stamkos said when asked if he could still pull off this party trick. "I have a pretty keen sense of who made the play or passed it; who had the assist."

"Do you remember the goal from November 19, 2022, here in Bridgestone (Arena)?" Daughtery asked.

"Overtime winner, one-timer," Stamkos said.

Let's check the tape.

Sure enough, if you go to the end of that highlight package, there it is: overtime winner, one-timer.

That's incredible. Stamkos has scored 555 times in the regular season and another 50 in the playoffs. So, for him to be able to pick out to describe a goal when someone throws out a random date is nothing short of incredible.

Stamkos will be a centerpiece of this Predators team moving forward, and after a strong spring and solid offseason — which saw Jonathan Marchessault and Brady Skjei also brought into the mix — expect the Predators to be in the mix toward the top of the tough Central Division.

Also, expect to see Stamkos add to that goal total, but I've got to say, this will certainly take some getting sued to:
