kapkomet Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Usually, the playoff gamesmanship begins with an exclamatory quote or a guarantee of victory. It usually doesn't include one team feeling it was forced out of its hotel by the other. The New York Islanders are steaming mad because they feel like the Tampa Bay Lightning got them bumped from the Tampa Marriott Waterside, the hotel that stands 200 yards from the players' entrance of the St. Pete Times Forum. When the Islanders called Monday to reserve rooms, they were informed the Lightning would be sharing the hotel with them. Furious, the Islanders pulled out of the hotel. "I think it's rude and inconsiderate," Islanders General Manager Mike Milbury said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Little confused here...why do the Lightning need hotel rooms? Are their families/friends that using the rooms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work at a hotel... giving out guest info is a big no no. Someone is gonna get fired over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Hose Jon Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 There just going to end up trashing the rooms, isn't that what hockey is all about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
