A few weeks have passed since Gorde was taken back by Tamppa Bay Liking. In just a few years, the organization and fans were forced to say goodbye to some of their most successful and beloved players, the boys they went to fight.
In May 2024, Lating welcomed the veteran defender, Ryan McDonald, a major part of the Stanley Cup. The thunderstorm has never been the same as it used to be after McDona was turned into Nashville in
On March 6, 2025, CEO Julian Brisbois regained the club’s striker’s stubbornness in an attempt to increase his depth and physically to the squad.
Gord, who won two trophies with the lights, was heading for Seattle to the final year and was expected to be in the open market at the end of the summer.
“You’re always allowing your brain to be wandering if it can,” Gorde said. “My time was very nice in Seattle, it was very nice. I’m so hopeful to participate in The BLAGHTNING and win some games. I feel surreal.
The deal with Seattle, which included Gordy’s friend Oliver Bürktrand, looked like a Brisbois move in 2020 to win Black Coleman from New Jersey and Barkley Gudro in San Jose against the first round. Then the thunderstorm left and won the Stanley Cup.
So far, Gorde seems to be the same man that everyone remembers. It is tirelessly on the ice and charismatic in the room, all of these while they smile from another ear.
“Let’s take the fact that Gorde has played here before, and from there. We’re going to follow Yani Gordeh,” he said. “He has only a body that shouts that he is a butterfly.
“Obviously, I have a history with him and the success we have achieved will bring an element that does not matter. That’s the size of the heart, so he liked a lot of fans here.
Gord initially signed Tampa Bay as a free player on March 11, 2014, stuff 187 points and two Stanley Cups in six seasons. He returned to the system, trainer and organization he knows well. In recent years, the transfer period has been for some of the newly wondered Lighting players on a commercial deadline.
“There was definitely adaptation, but it’s really a good feeling. It’s a lot of excitement,” Gorde said. “The first week was very nice to come back and see the boys.
When Gorde went only 24 hours after trade in Arena, it seemed to be carrying the place where he had stopped, but this time, he brought the experience of leading over years.
“He has a lot of voice on the bench now and is really innovation,” Cooper said. “I don’t remember being like that, but it’s a lot of feeling and welcoming it.
When Gorde left Tampa in 2021, the leadership group was previously established well. In Seattle, it was the task of being more a voice leader for the new expansion team.
Tampa is currently sitting first in the Atlantic league. The next road journey will provide an opportunity to gather the points they need to preserve first.
“Well, if you are on the road with boys and collect some good games on it. I think the most important thing is to find our identity, and build it on that identity throughout the year,” Gard said.
With Andre Vasillevsky, Nikita Kucherov, Braden Puint, Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonald, Gord returned to a team that is ready and tirelessly to follow up on another Stanley Cup.
This season is proof, you can go home again.
