The Lightning's slick new promo

I love stuff like this. I remember when they had one for that campy Snakes On A Plane movie and you better believe half the people I knew got a call from Samuel L. Jackson.

I guess Rick Tocchet calls will do this time around.

"We feel the new e-brochure should really grab the attention of our fans," Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brad Lott said. "This is the first time we’ve done something so fun and interactive and we really expect a positive response from our fans."

The ending was a nice touch, too:

If that's the case, don't take Stamkos in your fantasy pool...

Apparently when you hit “1”, you get directed to their season ticket office, and you speak to some very understanding people.

I love this in ways unhealthy.

VERY cool.

I’d rather see Mirtle in the TB front office though, instead of on the ice.

So I guess this puts an end to my hopes of ‘Want Hedman’ following up ‘Seen Stamkos’

The irony is...

I get these things from NHL apparel all the time that show a jersey with “Desjardins” on it. But if you read the fine print, they won’t make you a jersey with the name of any current or former NHL player. So I’m SOL.

I did this today. I couldn’t stop giggling and I made my friends do it for that uhhhh-mazing phone call.

(843): the red head has a bf
(1-843): just because there's a goalie doesn't mean u can't score

I had it call a pal of mine… who then messaged me immediately asking why Tocchet was hassling him to buy tickets. Pretty funny.
