Lots of people do not know this, but being I have family in TB, it is easily recognizable that they have some of the most dedicated fans in the league, next to teams like Boston and Toronto. The reason people do not think this is because of the massive amounts of people who have immigrated to TB from places like Detroit. Said people from Detroit always have a dusty Wings jersey in the closet for when they go down there, but also in front of that a shiny new Lightning jersey that they wear to most if not all games. Because of this, they also have fans in enormous numbers. There is a reason TB is nicknamed Hockey Bay U.S.A.
Because boarding has bad health risks to the player being boarded, and because of recent concussion issues in the league, rules are being enforced stricter then they used to.

Vincent Lecavalier vs Maxime Talbot Feb 5, 2013
Vincent Lecavalier vs Maxime Talbot from the Tampa Bay Lightning at Philadelphia Flyers game on Feb 5, 2013. via //www.hockeyfights.com.
And, please tell me. In what way did you know he dove? Oh, you didn't?
Exactly! You're stupid as fuck. Oh, BTW, Crosby is better then any Flyers.
I'd rather root for Pittsburgh then Philly. Then again, only good thing
that comes outta Philly is their Hockey team. Their Baseball, Basketball,
and oh, not to mention their Football team sucks as well. As to Tampa. We
have an overall great teams. Tampa Bay Lightning (Not the best team, but
not the worst.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay Rays. ETC. :)
Oh, I gotchu. Yeah, well, Downie always was doing something like that.
Well, being a cheap-shot that is. I never really liked him, specially when
he played for us. I'm just glad that he is gone. Okay, okay. I'll admit,
what Vinny did was in fact, a dumb idea. As a Captain, he shouldn't have
gotten into that fight. Nonetheless, he should have let someone else. We
needed him on that Powerplay, but he was in the Penalty Box. I think we
would have tied it if he was out. Okay, we'll leave it at that.
Not really, but okay? If you think so. I don't think, I know. I grew up
around the sport, I used to play it when I lived in Alaska. So, I do know
that I'm a Hockey fan. How can you tell me what I am, and what I am not?
That makes no fucking sense, at all. Also, that is where you are wrong.
We've had more attendance in the past few years, then we've ever had it.
You wouldn't know, since you're not down in Tampa. Also, I pay for my own
shit. You're making yourself sound stupid, dumbass. And, cool.
ok I don't like the flyers at all and don't really mind the lightning, but
really lecavalier is one classless piece of shit, he can't win a fight
worth shit and once he's got a guy down he keeps throwing punches (and,
like I said, I hate the flyers so giving them the benefit of the doubt is
tough; rinaldo did nothing wrong in his fight, being on one knee is
different than being on your back) .. and does anyone remember when vinny
sucker punched malkin last year like a little bitch? fuck him man

Late = on the ice, and Crombeen wasn't. People get up from their knees to
keep fighting all the time. I see you make up your lack of proper vision
and hockey knowledge with witty insults though. Congratulations, man. I'm
not gonna sit here and argue with a Rinaldo hater anymore, because I'm not
even a fan of the guy. And Vinny is one of my favorite players. Rinaldo had
a clean fight and he destroyed Crombeen, while Vinny landed a cheapshot to
Talbot while he was on his back. That's it.
It's not your fault that you think you’re a hockey fan...your parents
bought you the shirt and hat with the cute bolt on it and you were so
happy. In 1993 your fan base was greater than it has been in the past 5
years. Since you won the cup in 2004 your overall attendance has declined.
Hockey is a sport with real history & your fan base treats it like the
circus. But again it's not your fault, you have been too busy filming
yourself dancing to Katy Perry to understand.
Who cares that I danced to Katy Perry? It was game. How does that have
anything to do with it? I mean, yes you have every right to state YOUR
opinion. Which, I'm not saying you can't. But, what does that video have
anything to do with what I said, or with this video? I'm not gonna argue.
We all are entitled to our own opinion. That is all I'm going to say. So if
you wanna think whatever you want, go for it. I don't care. Have a nice
day, sir.
If you think Rinaldo didn't hit Crombeen when he went down your completely
wrong, he threw three wild haymakers when he was on his knees, but really
its a fight, the same people who cry about guys hitting guys who are
already down are the same ones saying there shouldn't be staged fights. So
you want fights to be spontaneous and out of pure anger like they used to
be but then be civil enough to not swing when a guys down?
Dude, just because the Ref said that. Doesnt mean hes right? Plus the ref
is busy trying to break up the fight rather than watching it. I dont see
what you mean by the video clearly shows it? Its not clear at all, theres 2
punches . 2! one he hit him on his way down which is fine, then there is
another where he swung while he was down. Its not that hard to figure out.
& im neither a flyers or tampa bay fan.
Hahahaha. Okay, Downie is who I had in mind. It was a bitch move by
Lecavalier, but I'll rescind my general statement about the Lightning and
just criticize Lecavalier. I know he thought he was just answering what
Rinaldo did, but if you're going to do that then you better be right about
what Rinaldo did, and clearly Rinaldo did not cheap shot Crombeen. So just
Lecavalier cheap shotted someone that game.
Bitch, you can't reduce the punch by calling it a slap. And what is he
slapping people for? Because he's a bitch like you. Throwing insults on the
internet? What do you think you did when you commented that Talbot
shouldn't fight if he can't take a dirty punch to the face when he's down
and restrained? At least I insult people openly, not cowardly like you.
Now, go fuck yourself and your inferior country.
Bro, don't ever bring up other sports in a conversation, that just makes
you look like an idiot.... And I watched the video to know he dove bud ;) I
also know that Crosby is an very talented player, never said the opposite,
so yeah ... you are inventing things to look like a champ, great job. BTW
nice job asking me a question and not letting me answer, perfect example of
intelligence right there ;)
both were cheapshots,both broke the code,Lecavalier started that fight with
talbot to send a message( as any good captain wouild do) that hitting a guy
who is down and hurt is not acceptable and he responded in kind. ALL of the
nhl experts at the dicussion at the end of the first period of the
bruin/canadians game on tv agreed it was the flyer who broke the code.
its the intent, crombeen was still on his knees holding onto rinaldo when
he threw those next 2 punches to make sure he won, neither punches were
thrown when crombeen hit the ice, they were both before however with vinny
he threw 2 punches after talbot was already on his back including 1 when
the officials were already in the middle and attempted a 3rd one
Lecavalier is the best even when he gets his nose bloodied by a 4th line
sub-par fighter. At least you have set your expectations of your captain
low and it probably makes seeing your tough guy get his ass kicked by a
5'10" 169 pound fighter much more tolerable. Hockey in Florida doesn't make
sense anyway so enjoy your team.
The saddest part of this entire situation is discovering you dancing to
Katy Perry. I can accept someone trying to pass themselves off as a make
shift hockey fan, wearing the right clothes etc...but you dancing to Katy
Perry reveals far more than anyone ever wanted to know. Look at it this
way, at least your closet is empty.
You can argue Rinaldo .But there is no doubt that Vinny threw when Talbot
was flat on his back.He knocked out his team by sitting for 5 minutes down
by 1 with 7 minutes left .What captain does that .Also these guys went
after the smallest guys on the Flyers.Ask Rinaldo to fight you .He will and
you just may be HUMILIATED.
rinaldo hit crombeen when he was still on one knee and was about to get up
and fight back ... vinny sucker punched talbot to start the fight and then
threw 2 punches when talbot was on his back with that said all is forgiven
since vinny is with the flyers now, but what vinny did was worse than
rinaldo that night
rinaldo kept throwing while he was doing. st louis even said something
about this after to danny brier. probably why he threw the extra shots
while he was down since it happened to their guy. that being said who gives
a fuck love seeing spirited fights and two teams showing hate for eachother.
haha are u serious? do you honestly think the ref lied to rinaldo saying it
was clean because it was in philly? that is one of the dumbest things i
have ever heard! why would the fact that it was philly change what the ref
says in a private conversation with rinaldo? try using logic next time
Talbot landed more and better hits, that punch at the end was disgusting.
Rinaldo a fight was absolutely clean and he punched him as he was on his
way down. This fight was over and Vinny threw that bullshit. I no longer
have respect for him if that's the type of shit you displays as a captain
You can feel when a guy goes limp, or is going down. Rinaldo's shit was
dirty. So was lecavaliers. Both fights were dirty. Each extra shot was
cheap. This kinda shit has no place in hockey. Guys should hold up the
extra shot, pat the guy on the back and say good fight. RESPECT.
First off Rinaldo didn't hit Crombeen when he was down he hit him to make
sure that he went down here Lecavalier hit Talbot when he was completely
down not on his knees like Crombeen so Rinaldo's fight was clean Lecavalier
wasn't but I am happy to have vinny in Philly!
It was actually kinda obvious he stumbled, and Rinaldo didn't take a swing
after both of them were on the ground, he hit him on the way down. If you
wanna talk about a takedown, Rinaldo definately took down Crombeen, and
just about knocked him out.
Lacalvalier was probably trying to set a tone but was thinking fuck I'm not
taking Rinaldo who just knocked crombeen the fuck out and I'm definitely
not fighting schenn again so he went after someone half the size of him...
haha you are an idiot rinaldo beat the shit outta crombeen and he wasnt
fully down LAYING ON HIS back as the man who WEARS THE C was hitting
him...lecavalier is as big of a pussy as the man who wears the C for New
Yawwwk
I wouldnt say 99%?! i think its a very dabtable fight. There was too
punhces throw. One when he was on one knee, then another when he was down.
i dont like it or dislike it! Its just my opinion. All is well
"Another dochebag Lightning player cheap-shotting someone." Say what? Who
else had done that? Besides Steve Downie, in which, he doesn't play for
them anymore. So, name other people who does that?
