Tomorrow night at the Bell Centre, the crowd will be loud.

Canadiens fans will rally behind the team as it tries to secure a spot in the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs.

Ticket prices are astronomical for Game 6 of the series between the two teams, but we'll still be in for a good show. 

That said, we might not hear much from the Lightning fans, who will also be there to cheer on their team. But to change that, the Tampa Bay organization has decided to pay for tickets (and travel) for several of its employees so they can make some noise at the Bell Centre.

We'll hold the fort for Bolts Nation – Katie McMahon, Community Relations and Social Impact Coordinator for the Lightning

I tend to think it won't make much of a difference, but hey…

But in all this, we still have to commend the Lightning's initiative.

They weren't obligated to offer this to their employees, but they did it anyway. It's a nice gesture on the part of the organization… because the club's employees are really going to be able to enjoy it.

On the other hand, I wonder if the Lightning is doing this knowing that home-ice advantage doesn't make a difference.

The team has a 1-10 record when they bring out their white towels for the fans… 

We'll see, then, if it's the Lightning fans and staff who'll be the loudest… or if the Canadiens will come out on top.

But seriously, if I had to bet, I'd put my money on the Habs fans… hehe. 


In a nutshell

– Note:`

– Insane.

– The Flyers are dangerous.

– Enjoy the read.
