WWE Superstar Triple H congratulated Tampa Bay Lightning following their victory in the Stanley Cup
Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup yet again, almost a year after winning the 2020 title in the NHL bubble.
The Lightning trashed the Montreal Canadiens 4-1, shutting them out in only the 5th game of the playoffs.
Lightning took the lead in the seven-match series beating the Canadiens 5-1 in the first match. The Canadiens were beaten again in the second and the third matches.
The Canadiens tried to make a comeback in the playoffs after beating the Lightning in the fifth game, 3-2.
However, it proved to be only a consolation victory, as the Lighting won the fifth match to get hold of the Stanley Cup 2021.
Andrei Vasilevskiy was just too hot to handle for the opponents and was named the playoffs MVP.
Triple H awards the Tampa Bay Lightning a WWE belt
WWE Superstar Triple H was in awe of the Lightning’s performance. He acknowledged their back-to-back Stanley Cup wins, while also congratulating right-winger Nikita Kucherov and playoffs MVP Andrei Vasilveskiy.
Triple H then announced that he would be awarding the Lightning a custom made WWE belt following their title win.
Taking to Twitter, ‘The Game’ wrote:
“New year, same result. Congrats to @86Kucherov, Andrei Vasilevskiy, the entire @TBLightning organization and the city of Tampa Bay on a dominating performance in the #StanleyCup finals. Time to make room for another custom @WWE Championship! #GoBolts.”
The belt had the logo of Tampa Bay Lightning engraved on both the sides, with the center representing the World Heavyweight Championship title.
