The Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t have much faith in their team making it far in the playoffs because they booked St. Pete Times Forum out to Toy Story on Ice right in the middle of the team’s deep playoff run. The Disney on Ice production is scheduled to be in Tampa Bay for Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, coenciding with when the Lightning play at home. Despite sweeping the Washington Capitals in the second round, the Lightning have been waiting to start their next series as the Detroit Red Wings have pushed the San Jose Sharks to a Game 7.
Earlier in the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Boston Bruins- Montreal Canadians series was dictated by a Lady Gaga concert. According to the NHL, Games 3 & 4 will go on as scheduled… even if that means Steve Stamkos will be sharing a lockeroom with Woody. Sounds like Buzz Lightgear to the rescue!
