    My 1st live NHL game.

    I bit the bullet and attended my first live Hockey game last nght at the St Pete Times Forum, the Lightning against the Devils. Unfortunately, the Bolts lost. Unfortunately, I also had a great time and sure could easily get rabidly into the Bolts, then I would have no life year round. I have watched on TV mostly when it looked like they were close to going for the cup a few years ago and it was fun to watch, but this was the first one I had actually seen, I got to see a fight and a few penalties. It is a lot different from the laid back pace of baseball that's for sure.

    I didn't realize how small Marty St Louis is and instead of "Let's Play Hockey", I think it should be Let's Puck!

    Hockey is one of the few sports that can turn someone into a believer by attending in person. Glad to hear you had fun!

    Never been to a NHL game but I've been to some lower level games and they are really fun and gets you pumped up.

    You picked a fine time to step up and become a fan. Stamkos is killing it for you, and the great Steve Yzerman is a GM. Things are looking good for Tampa, and don't let the loss to NJ de-rail you. They still suck.

    Secretly you are all becoming Canadian by posting in this thread. The plan is working.

    Yes, I would defintely like to go again, my BBF has been trying to get me to go for years, we will probably go to another one here soon.

    Well, the Bolts didn't make it to the Stanley Cup, but they had a great ride. Wouldn't have been nice to have gone through Boston, like the Rays did in 2008.
    Gonna have to go again next year.
