I lived in South Florida for 20 years.... been to a zillion games and even played there a bunch of times, there's a few condos but otherwise the arena is next to the 3rd or 4th biggest mall in the country. The area isn't bad.

The parking is atrocious if you park in the arena. Park at the mall and walk across. Get there early and make the GF happy(ier) lol.
Good advice, thanks. We have to play them first before that can happen, obviously. Amalie arena was very nice though, thats where I ran into the great Rod Gilbert for the 2nd time. R.I.P.

Sucks about Rod...it's a tough year already for celebrities dying, especially comedians.


Amalie is a good arena. That scoreboard is pretty cool. My brother and I saw game 7 of Red Wings and TB. My brother said," tickets are cheap you want to see a game 7". You cant say no to that. The drive kind of sucked, I guess.

Then we saw game 2 of the Rangers series there. TB fans were very douchey.


That's what sucks about being back in NY, no ice level seats for the cost of a pack of gum. Lol

Its a great place to park if you're going to see a game. The mall itself is ridiculous, so it's like two entertainments for the price of one.

TBL destroying TOR. Hoping VAN can win against MIN and bump VGK out of the chase for the WC2 spot.
I think it all comes down to what the Stars do. Anyway Vancouver lost tonight in regulation and their schedule is pretty tough as well so they are in trouble.

If the TOR vs TBL game is a preview of the playoffs it’s going to be a short post season for TOR…again.
This postseason is gonna be great but I don't see how anyone could pick the Leafs goaltending over Vasy. The Leafs are a good team but if that series goes deep I can't bet against Vasy.

The Sabres got jobbed by the NHL, they should be credited for THREE shorthanded goals but the last one was deemed to be at even strength EDIT: WRONG - it was an even strength goal - I had lost all interest in watching at this point and was playing on my phone but just saw the highlights and stand corrected. Will the humiliation ever end for the sadsack debbies? No. The answer is no.

And looks like Toronto too is getting ready for the POs...

There is only one goalie that has the ability to rival Vasys play in a 7 game series. If he matched up against him. Well Ranger fans will be very happy at that point. 🤣
 
Boy, willy nylander continues to remind me why I never wanted him anywhere near this team. I will never forget that elimination game where they were down a goal with 30 seconds left and was first guy in on a puck with chara coming and he curled away from the puck and just let chara take it. Then watching him last night do anything possible to not get involved was just ridiculous. He is the epitomy of what is wrong with that team. only when sergachev gets there does he kinda skate around with him. so glad he didnt end up here when people were clamoring for him.

That team is 51-21-6, the exact same record as the Rangers, and he is having a great year.

That was the game, we went to as well! What a coincidence. And yeah, they were VERY douchey. The TB fans (2 male buttheads) in front of us REFUSED to sit down the entire game after I repeatedly and nicely requested they stand accordingly. Cost me to miss a goal. Story has it that I "accidentally" spilled my beer on his head and they wanted to fight. lol. Security got called and warned everyone. Man, was he lucky. My GF would have kicked their asses. lmao.

If you watch them the teams aren't comparable. I would take NYR 10 out of 10 going into ANY playoff series.

Nylander is an offensive beauty when he wants to be, but as a complete player is a joke and not anyone I would want on my team going into a playoff series. He may have his moments, but I want nothing to do with him...
