maybe he was saving himself for the Tampa Bay cab drivers
I’m sure those days are over.
Not gonna let Kane off the hook, eh?
Fuck no. I hold grudges. In case that’s not obvious lol
Nah it’s just a character thing. That’s pretty pathetic. Not very NHL. More NBA or NFL type behaviour
Was reading a story in paper of how tampa made some statement of if you wear blackhawks apparel you may be asked to vacate your seat or remove said apparel. Lol. Guess that threat might not be too uncommon but completely idiotic imo. Keep the peace maybe or the fear is real…also story of nashville stating if seats purchased from stubhub as hawks fan potential denied entry. Again nonsense and get a fan base so you can sell out a playoff series for christ sake. All posture to try and keep away team fans out of home stadium i suppose. Too funny
.
Show me where they posted that? I don’t believe it.
Sounds like something a Chicago fan made up. I can guarantee it’s bullshit. Sounds like you fell for it.
They have been doing whole entire playoffs. Not just a Chicago thing.
“We’re not going to apologize for the policy,” said Bill Wickett, the Lightning’s executive vice president for communications. “We want to create as much of a hometown environment for the Lightning players and our season-ticket holders as we can, and we’ve been somewhat successful at it."
Bullshit as I suspected
It’s only in two tiny little areas
Chase club and lexus lounge, where there are about 300 seats out of 16,000. Those areas are mostly for season ticket holders but when season ticket holders turn back playoff tickets they go for sale and they’re restricting it to Tampa fans basically.
In other words…it was a bullshit story that a bunch of dummies in Chicago are spreading around including the mayor lol
Haterade is strong with this one 8)
You really enjoy throwing around the insults dont ya
And I guess the insecurity is strong with you? I just don’t like bullshit. What the fuck would I be hating? I don’t give a fuck who wins. I don’t hate Chicago. I’m indifferent. The leafs played them once every two years for the past 15 years.
That whole story was created by some people in Chicago who got it wrong and they’re trying to rally around it and claiming discrimination. Meanwhile maybe they should read the fucking facts first.
Maybe you should too?
This story has been present entire playoffs. Same shit was brought up when Rangers and Habs played them.
Restricted zip code ticket sales making out of state sales difficult and some sort of dress code for two small overpriced club seat areas.
Doesn’t really do shit as there were a ton of Habs jerseys in the stands and there were a ton of Hawks fans there last game.
Although Tampa might want to create an away atmosphere at home and let more opposing team fans in as they are 5-6 at home these playoffs and 7-3 away.
Damn those Lightning tickets are more expensive than I would have guessed. I know the prices are insane in Chicagoland, but pretty steep in Tampa as well.
The first article posted was from / about a Rangers fan transplant. So get your facts straight and read a little closer before proclaiming your “facts”. Lighten up Mr inconvenient truth. Lol!
I dont give 2 shits about the “policy” frankly. Just found it interesting and laughable. If its spun and adds fuel to the series, then so be it
?
What did I get wrong? You’re the one who posted the BS exaggerated and inflammatory story that nobody will be allowed to wear Chicago shit and would be asked to vacate the seats lol. I just called it bullshit. Which it was.
I don’t think it’s a big deal to restrict zip codes (slanted way to put it…why not say they’re FAVOURING Floridians, which is what Tampa is doing?)
I think it’s gay to even acknowledge the other team’s fans to the point of making a dress code even in a small section. Ottawa had some stupid rule that when they made extra tickets available to season ticket holders they couldn’t sell them to leaf fans. If they did they’d be cut off from future ticket offers. Lame as fuck.
^^^^ agree
Can’t argue with that.
It was definitely a black eye in his early career but he seems to have cleaned up his act since… or someone cleaned it up for him. I’m guessing some PR-type individual was hired to keep him in line.
You don’t end up on the cover of video games if you keep busting up cab drivers.
Nope, true… sort of.
edit: nvm… see that you guys addressed it. Friend lives in Tampa and went to the game last night. He told me there were the “Blackhawk Fan Sections,” aka seats they don’t show on TV.
Does not matter but let me help you out.
Never said nobody could wear Chicago shit. You may be asked to remove it. And, you may.
The story was not started by someone in Chicago. It is a policy. Pretty simple really.
And I really don’t care to debate and argue about it. Again, it’s comical is all. No need to get all riled up over.

I don’t know how I could have misperceived you not wanting the hawks to win? Hate? Probably not. Rooting against? Certainly. So you do care a little. Just a little? C’mon you can admit it.
Insecure, me? Nah. Defensive? Most likely. I can admit it
