Perhaps its OK now? Lightning Round: Tampa Bay Lightning will allow fans to wear other teams’ gear in their premium seats



I don't stay up to watch games anymore but instead normally streams it in the morning. Tonight I litteray woke up like a kid before christmas eve every hour after 3 am. Saw the 2-0 score the first time I woke up, then 3-0, god I slept well inbetween with that knowledge. :)

What is this world coming to that you can't be comfortable in an opposition's arena and wear your teams jersey and enjoy yourself and the game? What are they afraid of.

So, I can't buy 2 tickets for the 2 Lighting home games wearing my Rangers Blue Zibanejad jersey? That is just so childish a policy. Some say the NFL is the No Fun League? No, it's Bettman allowing this shite.

He was Panarin-esque in that sense.

He had egregious plays but ends up with 2-3pts games and is lethal on the PP.

We shit on Panarin for the same thing. Kucherov's even-strength play was way stronger against Florida. Maybe it was some urgency/pressure because Point was missing.

To be honest though, Tampa can't win without Kucherov right now because they are no where as deep as us offensively IMO. We have been winning without Panarin playing at the top of his game.

If Panarin gets going, we are by far the deepest/scariest team in the playoffs IMO

I wonder if he'll be extra motivated going against Kucherov who I think he's friends with.
 
I hope we get this Cooper.

This is hardly the reason Panarin will breakout this series. He had no time or space vs the Canes. He was forced into turnovers left and right all series long. Same can be said for Kreids disappearance before Game 7. Kreids is best when he can use his speed and be a net front presence. Otherwise he is invisible.

Both these guys will have much more freedom vs Tampa. Panarin will have time and space to make plays and Kreids will not be restricted in using his speed. Tampa is in for a world of hurt. And let's not forget how Zibad light's up Tampa every time he plays them.

Zibad scored a PP goal with seconds left in the game last time we saw them to win it. Had a hattrick in our 4 zip shutout at home. And won their first meeting of the season with the shootout winner.

Well he had more room against the Pens and wasn't very good 5 on 5 either.

Anything he does will be better than the last series. Of that you can be sure of. A drop in class always helps. You might think of Tampa being better than the Canes, but I think not.

I’ve never understood how this works. Is it like when you go to a website that‘s 18+ and you have to enter your “birthday“? :laugh:

Will they prevent me from entering the building if I wear my Zibanejad jersey if I sit in the "cheap seats?" Or close? I can't believe that. They don't want to be shamed on national TV with a big Ranger's crew.... That's it isn't it.
 
To me, shutting down Kucherov is the key in this series. Big job for the top two defensive pairs.

Tampa has a lot (a lot) of good players. Kucherov is the one guy who can beat you singularly.

I actually like the Rangers chances in this series more than I liked them against Carolina.

To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best.

This hasn’t just started recently. Once I was at a Flyers game in the owners box and the security guard said to me, “Mr. Snider would like you to remove your Rangers jacket”. I replied “who is Mr. Snider?” Not long after there was an incident in Philadelphia when the Flyers marketing department had a large group of executives from a New York bank who drove Mr. Snider crazy. After that happened, the marketing group got their own suite.
