My sis and I were outside when the Lightning went for the cup in 2004, I wheeled her in her wheelchair, those parties my sis lookwd forward to while on dialysis, everyone was high fiving, lots of good memories, Tampa fans are the best. Bring back the watch parties.

]]> Wed, 1 Jun 2016 07:49:00 UTC 20029045 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20029036?utm_medium=rss I have been a hockey fan since before i can remember growing up on long island. I moved to the tampa bay area and was impressed at the enthusiasm, excitement, and fan involvement that the Tampa Bay Lightning organization offers to its fans to keep them engaged.
It is something that should be celebrated and encouraged by the whole NHL organization, not something that should have been penalized!
The fact that it was last week that you shut down the Lightning Watch party and then encouraged, as well as promoted by you for another team, is a disgrace and you should really get new people to run the NHL organization.
In the eye of the people that is the same as rigging games. Maybe you should go and join in with WWE, they welcome rigging there.

It was the only way I could watch and not feel like a team of the broadcasters preference was being shoved down my throat. It has nothing to do with what teams are in it but more to do with the piss poor way it is being presented. I prefer broadcasts where the announcers at least pretend not to be biased. Every intermission I can tell if things are going Millbury's way in intermission refusing to give the team against his choice any credit. Eddie Olcyk is completely arrogant and Pierre Maguire is the main reason I mute. No one cares what jr college some 4th liner played on outside of Saskatchewan. Step it up and rating will step up. Don't take a way a towns rallying behind its team. This team is Florida, you should be ecstatic 8K people are showing up to support their team not disallow them to assemble. Complete bull crap. If I didn't already love hockey I wouldn't try and learn about it after hearing about this garbage.
