Hide your Habs jersey! The Tampa Bay Lightning are restricting playoff ticket sales to Florida residents only and banning Habs jerseys from some areas inside the arena.

Sounds like Russia to me!!

WTF!?!  :tickedoff:

Someone should advise Tampa not to piss off all the Canadians in Florida.

The restriction on the sale of the tickets is done elsewhere during the playoffs (Montreal, Ottawa, etc).  Whatever I can watch the game at a bar or at home.

But this whole jersey issue is BS.  Are teams really doing this now? It's been a while since I've been to a live game during the playoffs. Since when can anyone tell you what jersey you can wear?  Man even the sods in Beantown were classier, and I co-existed with Bruins fans several times.

Go Habs Go.  If the Lightning do end up getting past Price, all the best to them.  They are a great team, and I want a team that can kick the crap out of the Rangers if they move past the Caps (I can't stand Kreider - dude needs to get suspended for the kamikaze hits on goalies).

I don't think I'm capable of rooting for the Habs. However, the main thing is that someone does kick the crap out of the Rangers.

Where ever this ticket sales restriction is done, it is wrong (IMHO).  I can see limiting ticket sales to a maximum # per person, so as to curb scalping- but why give a shit where someone lives!!!

Bad form, poor sportsmanship, etc.  :tickedoff:

As for the jersey issue, if it is a matter of public safety (as in don't wear enemy colours if you value your continued good health), then fine; say that and be done with it.  You were fairly warned.  But to ban someone from being fully clothed wearing the colours of a visiting team???!!!  Bullshit I say, BULLSHIT!  :tickedoff:

I can't honestly say that I gave much of a crap about the outcome of this series until now.  But, now I'm all about the red, white and blue for liberty and justice!!!  :coolsmiley:

Screw that! I hate the Habs. And I picked Tampa in the work playoff pool. They can require every fan to dress up like a furry for all I care...just win me my damn money!  ;D

Y'all Tampa boys played a great game, 1st two periods were hard to watch.

The lead up to the Eastern Conference finals should be interesting.  I for one hope that Ovie & and Caps clock the crap out of the Rangers; Lightning/Caps would be an interesting series.

Keep in mind the Rangers have never lost a game 7 at home....  they're 6-0 at MSG in game 7s

Caps should've closed them out when they had the chance!

I'm not a huge Rangers fan, but I've never liked the Caps. And as well as Holtby has played this year, I'd be a Hell of a lot more confident if I had Lundqvist behind me in goal in a game 7.

What's with all the Rangers hate?

As a Bruins fan, I am hardwired to hate the Rangers. As a New Englander, I tend to hate New York teams in general.
