There is a lot of talk around the Chicago area about what a group of wimps the Tampa Bay Lightning ownership are because of their efforts to keep Blackhawk fans from taking over their stadium. Evidently, they fear their fan base just isn't up to task for a series like the Stanley Cup Championship.
Things like not allowing anyone to order tickets on charge cards if they don'y have a Florida mailing address and no non Lightning apparel in certain areas of their stadium.
I like Chicago mayor's comments welcoming Lightning fans to Chicago for games three and four, Their money is good here and they'll enjoy the city's vibe and restaurants.
The last team to do this was the Nashville Predators.
Actually, they do have something to worry about as Blackhawk fans have been known to "take over" other teams' stadiums. My friends Sue and Paul were at a Hawks game in Phoenix against the Coyotes and they said that between 50-60% of the fans in attendance were wearing Blackhawk gear.
Oh well, no Lightning fans are allowed at Sunnyside Tap in Johnsburg, where we will be watching tonight.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
