Live and Unplugged: Open thread

Tampabaylightning.com will be streaming tonight's unplugged event live. (warning, if today's press conference is anything like tonight's unplugged, there will be buffering issues).

Comments are open for talk about the event as it happens. Vinik, Stamkos, and the rest of the gang (whoever they may be) will be part of this session.

Hello John.

Did you get to see/hear any of the press conference this afternoon? It got really bad (draggy) by the time the Q & A came around so I just cut it off.

Yeah, same thing happened for me

I had local TV though so I could just put on the channel that was covering it.

The twitter posts said they were hoping to have that issue fixed for the unplugged session tonight. I hope so.

Cool! Maybe she can give us a personal view of this like she did with the last one. I’d love to be close enough to make it, but, um, 10 hr drive is a bit much…..

The session started -- Peckham hosting

I swear, that picture of Vinik the team sent out does him no justice.

Can you understand Rick Peckham? He’s usually pretty good with his enunciation… I can see why you might have trouble hearing Stammer. He’s really soft spoken.
