Clicked on thread hoping for pics. OP did not disappoint.
I've been one of many on HF harping about marketing since I joined the site. Nice to see a comparison case from our expansion bros.
This shouldn't make a hill of beans difference. I could just as easily say that with the lack of competition, it's more reason for the Sens to plaster the city.
A few posters on busses doesn't do it. The only time we get anything remotely close to what is pictured in the OP is when we're like 3 rounds into the playoffs.

Is it really a fair comparison?
Residents of Tampa have a lot of competition for sports/entertainment dollars, than we do in Ottawa/Gatineau.
MLB, NFL, NHL, NCAA division 1 & division 2 sports teams, plus a number of Minor league & semi-professional teams and about 4 MLB teams hold their spring training camps in the Tampa Bay region.
Residents of Tampa grow up playing Baseball, Football and many other sports and hockey is not as ingrained in their culture as it is in Ottawa.
So I see the logic in the Lightning marketing to the extent that they do, but how is that a fair comparison to Ottawa?
