Just got home. The best way to deal with a bunch of out of town fans is to shut them out and send them home. I was not happy seeing all the Hawk fans when I got to the arena but it was nice sending them home with our win.

I'll be going to the game in Sunrise on Sunday. First time I've been to an out of town Bolts game. I'll be cheering for the Bolts but I'm not gonna act the obnoxious fool like a lot of our "guests" do.

Went to the game where in the hell did all these Blackhawk fans come from? WTF

My season ticket sales guy came over to say hi. He said that this game was not part of any of the "packages" they sell ... so the hawks fans gobbled them all up. The Lightning raised their tickets and food/beverage prices for tonight's game. So it was definitely a windfall for the Lightning. The BBQ sandwich I usually get was $12 tonight...usually $8.

On a side note it was soooo red tonight. Let's Go Hawks chants actually drowned out the Let's Go Bolts chants several times tonight.

[2020 Cup Champions]

disgusting and just plain wrong.

The price hike makes it hilarious.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

BTW - Stamkos ****ing owns the Hawks. That's something like 11 goals in 9 games against them.

has to be more doesnt it? he has two hatties and now two goals tonight first career hatty is against chicago

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

absolutely that is awesome to see how the powers are gonna deal with this haha

 

[More 2004]

disgusting and just plain wrong.

What makes it worse is a lot of the morons will be wearing Bolts jerseys next game.. thats turrible.

 

[Sky04]

Blackhawks are the most popular team in the league, they have a huge bandwagon fanbase everywhere, sad to hear that they outchanted the Lightning fans though.

I was at the game, it was pretty garbled everytime someone started a chant. Didn't hear many chants after the second. Also each lower bowl seat was atleast 200+, the place where I sit was starting at 300+. How does it feel to pay that much money to watch your team get crunched. Poor leafs

 

[Stormbreaker]

Keep the winning going onto Sunday.

 

[snowden]

This is Tampa in February. We are always going to get northerners coming down to catch games, especially teams like the Blackhawks with Original 6-ness and recent success. I don't think that's ever not going to happen.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Easy win!

Toldcha!

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I thought Filppula had a very strong game. As well as Garrison... good things happen when he shoots more.

This. I don't inherently have a problem with visiting fans or their money (it can add to the atmosphere really) but there's no need to be a complete ******* in someone else's house.

 

[Leonardo87]

It seems we have 4 lines now that are a real threat to score.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Connolly & Boyle were awesome, Drouin looked good too. Overall a complete, defensive minded performance. Though the Hedman-Nesterov pairing is 10 times better & particularly more threatening offensively than with Sustr. Nesterov led the game with a +16 in Corsi differential yesterday. Shelter the **** outta him and great things will happen.

 

[Outl4w]

After last night's game maybe I should start the pre-game talk two weeks in advance for all big games?

Why not. Can't hurt. So um how about that game on um March 20th.

 

[Coopers Gum]

God damn it, I missed this one. Missed a shutout.

And this Bishop guy can't win us a game.

 

[Outl4w]

Should we start the game day thread now?

You missed a good one, we even scored PP goals, yes plural goals.

Wow. I blame the Hawks PK.

 

[Leonardo87]

Wow. I blame the Hawks PK.

Well when you get 6 opportunities, the puck is going to have to find the back of the net eventually. lol.

First 3 PP were pretty brutal, but then it got better and they got more chances. I am not sold on these current units, and think a lot of work still needs to be done. Stamkos had a nice shot though. Did you see that goal on the highlights?
