It was an innocent conversation between myself and community member Matt Amos tonight. Innocent but of a hockey subject matter, a playoff subject matter, a Lightning subject matter: Just what is the event that is conflicting with the Lightning / Canadiens schedule that resulted in the back-to-back games tomorrow and Thursday instead of the every-other-day format continuing per usual?
The answer is the Nitro Circus... And the news attached to the event will not be very pleasant for Lightning, Canadiens or NHL fans:
Nitro CircusLive regrets to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances related to our television production, the Tuesday, May 5, 2015 show in Tampa, FL at AMALIE Arena has been cancelled.
