Would Tampa fans out number Panthers fans at a home game in Sunrise?

 

[Sear91]

Really don't want the Isles. I feel like they have our number.

probably 60 - 40 in favor of Panthers fans.

 

[berlin]

Really don't want the Isles. I feel like they have our number.

Maybe, but having that game 7 at home is huge.

 

[Hoek]

I'd rather have the Islanders pragmatically. The Panthers had our number too, you know. Obviously a Panthers series has it's pluses entertainment wise, but I want to win.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Rather the Panthers. I don't know any Panther fans in case we lose.

 

[Hoek]

Rather the Panthers. I don't know any Panther fans in case we lose.

That's because there's only a handful. (Yeah lame tired ass joke, but rivalry!)

 

[Todd1a]

I want the islanders I want no part of Lou the goalie

 

[Leonardo87]

Would not mind an islanders series, can go to the game here in NY.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Lightning have not won a game at the Islanders (shootouts aside) since November 2010. Say what you want about the relevance of that, the fact is that they are just terrible against them in their building.

islanders both play semi open hockey but florida has better d and will play us tighter and there is the obvious factor of luongo over grease

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

We haven't been very good vs either team this year. NY has the same problem as us where they're getting their offense from only a few individuals, but I'm confident Bish could out duel Greiss. Florida would make for an interesting series. There would be very very light travel for away games, so that'd be nice and help keep us in better shape if we could advance to the EC Finals.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

We got lucky getting Detroit in round 1. I really don't see us beating either of these teams.

That being said I think a battle of Florida would be fun (and have amazing ratings in Canada) but I feel we would have a better chance with a NY match up.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Don't want Luongo. Don't want Martin.

 

[Matthew Carle]

Bring on Panthers.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

Bring on Panthers.

we brought you in on this board for this?:sarcasm:


lol thought you were halle hahahaa too funny

 

[Tampbear]

I would love to see an all florida series. The Panthers should be our biggest rival but they haven't mattered for too long.

 

[Bedford Bolt]

An all Florida series would be awesome and could hopefully build a good rivalry in the future.

Not that it matter as HF seems to have decided that we are done either way

The guys seem to play better when they have doubters. Either team would be a good series but I prefer Florida.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Are we the road team against both of them or just Florida?

 

[Hoek]

Just Florida. We'd have home ice on the Isles since they were a wild-card.

 

[pb1300]

Hey folks, just visiting. I hope we win our series, and get a bit of a rivalry going between the two "non-traditional market" teams. What would be even more upsetting for the more "deserving" fans of the north, would be that this is only the beginning for the Panthers. It seems that both Florida teams are going to be around the top if the standings for at least the rest of the decade, and hopefully we can keep the Prince of Whales trophy in Florida for the foreseeable future.

 

[Hoek]

I definitely love the whole pissing off the North angle. If there's any camaraderie I feel with the Panthers, it's that.

And it's Wales, the country, not the animal.

 

[Bolto]

Lightning vs Panthers, a series for all those traditionalists out there.
