According to Joe Smith, Tampa Bay beat writer for The Athletic, Stammer had this to say,
Strong words from the captain there. Maybe he gets his arrogant personality from his head coach. Listen, I'm not taking anything away from Jon Cooper or the Tampa Bay Lightning, and I get the gamesmanship from every one involved, but the fact is, Tampa has no right to be as cocky as they have been, especially going into game 7. The Leafs act and are a different team, I think Stammer might regret his choice of words when locker clean up happensor the refs will decide game 7 like they did game 6. Maybe the message on the room tonight is to dive and sell as many calls as possible.
