The Tampa Bay Lightning sent out a mailer about what may already be known to most Lightning fans but Game #6 on Sunday, April 22nd is slated to begin at 1 PM.

Tickets still available, blah blah blah, you know the drill.

What the F!? A 1:00 game?? Are they trying to turn this into a family event?
Wed night was no place for a child.

Tell me more about that, Tiny. I’d like to hear it.

I’m not usually one to bitch about refs but this was one of the worst called games I’ve seen. It was very noticeable, someone with a radio said Phil was going ape shit about it. Anyway, the fans were irate to say the least. The expletives flew, “you suck” chants, and a few almost incidents with some Devil’s fans. Also, the type of game it was, coming back like that had everyones blood pumping.
It was tense the whole game. Also, I noticed (first hand) they were selling beer all the way thru the overtime.
