Miss Lightning hockey? Yeah, you are not alone. Bad news is that you will not have it at your disposal until camp opens in September.
The good news is that Lightning fans have been invited to congregate at the XO VIP Club in the St. Pete Times Forum for a watch party tomorrow night. The action, of course, is the Washington Capitals hosting the Montreal Canadiens in game seven of their series.
This watch party will coincide with the live “Lightning Hockey Night” radio broadcast, which airs on 1250AM WHNZ from 7 til 8 PM and features Dave Andreychuk and host Matt Sammon. Masterton finalist Kurtis Foster is expected to be a phone in guest for the show.
The watch party gets underway at 6 PM. For more information, please view the official press release below.
