A "We hate St. Louis" (the hockey player) chant broke out at the end of the game in 307. Wednesday should be fun.
Are they doing a video tribute to him Wednesday?

Sources have told me there will be NO video tribute to Martin St. Louis Wednesday. Tom and Ronnie talking about it. http://www.620wdae.com/listen

I'm kind of split on what to do on Wednesday, on one hand I want him to know that we're not happy with what he did but on the other hand I don't want the boo's to become some kind of motivator for him or the rangers. I also think that maybe cheering for our team will have a bigger effect on him than booing him becuase it would show him that he is of no importance to us anymore and we have moved on. If it was me I would make a sign that said "Thanks Marty for Callahan and the two 1st rounders" and then cheer for our team the whole night but I also understand those who will boo. It's going to be interesting to see how it will play out.
The boos will rain down. Just let it happen. I want a PGDT started now for Wednesday. It's finally here.
Feel free to make one.
I have no idea. I saw the tweet posted above, but I'm not sure how true that is. It'd be the classy thing to do, but if they're sensing the majority of the fanbase is just going to boo him, then it's pointless to do it. The vibe I'm getting is it won't be a welcoming crowd, but I guess we'll see.

Hopefully the fans didn't forget game 6...
Of course they did. Marty's whole history with our club has apparently been erased. The irony is that the people that call Marty a whiny baby for asking for a trade are the ones thrashing about like whiny babies.

No.
If anyone "forgot" Game 6, it was Martin St. Louis himself. We the fans haven't forgotten what he's done for this franchise. He has. He turned his back on everything we gave him, over what? A disagreement with his boss over something totally unrelated to the Lightning. He was a legend. The fans gave him everything. And he threw it all in our faces.
That's why 99% of the Lightning fanbase doesn't like him anymore. Because he didn't care enough about us. If it happened in the offseason, ok, fine. But don't quit on a young team that is pushing for the playoffs that you had just been made the captain of. Don't quit on the fans who idolize everything you do. The "heart and soul" of the Lightning stopped being so. The best, and most important player in the history of the franchise just walks away from it all. He basically spit in our faces. Oh, and on top of it all, he only demanded to be traded to ONE team, basically screwing Yzerman and the Lightning over on a potential return.
It turns out, we didn't get screwed. St. Louis leaving was probably the best thing that could've happened to this team. But no one, much less St. Louis would have known that. He left for selfish reasons. Some captain. Some legend.
