Welcome back to some more NHL coast-on-coast action!
…seriously missing the lockout right now. Like, how much better was all conference play and 48 games in 99 days?
Anyone?
ANYONE?!
Whatever, I’ll stand by my sentiment as we trudge through another 4ish o’clock start versus a Southeast Flortheast Atlantic Division opponent.
So let’s get it started and see what Lightning fans are looking forward to the most in anticipation of their matchup against the LA Kings:
Hey @TBLightning, are you still doing cheap beer and hot dogs pre game on the plaza?
— Andy (@andytaylor6) October 15, 2013
Yeah, like a professional hockey team is going to respo—
@andytaylor6 Post-game we have a great deal of $2 drafts and $4 cans on the Bud Light Party Deck.

…I stand corrected. And frat boy-level envious.

I follow @TBLightning in season to support LOCAL team, not b/c I'm a hockey fanatic. ALTHOUGH, I may go to a #Bolts game this yr, maybe lol

“Maybe”
Thunder & Tampa Bay Lightning, oh my! Show your team spirit by having a $6 Thunder-rita with us tonight from 5-close! pic.twitter.com/sOmVT9GIYt

Coincidentally, Thunder Rita is also Phil Esposito’s stage name at Hamburger Mary’s.

I’d like to think of it more as;
“At least the LA Kings have a better record vs. the East than the Edmonton Oilers.”
