BUGGIN' OUT
Two years ago this time, Tampa was going ga-ga over the Tampa Bay Lightning's run for the Stanley Cup.
This year... eh, not so much.
Sure, people are excited that the Bolts are back in the playoffs. But they're somewhat skeptical about how far they'll go. They didn't exactly surge into the last playoff spot in their division.
Either way, it doesn't matter, because Thunder Bug, the team's mascot, is back on the roof of The Forum That Dare Not Speak Its Name. Just like 2004, he's up there trying to rally fans to buy playoff tickets to Tuesday night's game. He's again pledging to camp out until the games are sold out.
You might remember that the Salad visited Thunder Bug's alter ego on the roof last time around.
We've got another pass to go up again. If it happens, we'll post the photos here.
Yep, he looks like he's roughin it up there, those couches aren't even leather.
