Sights and sounds from the Lightning's Stanley Cup boat parade

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 7/12/21

The Tampa Bay Lightning won their second consecutive Stanley Cup last week. On Monday, they celebrated with their second straight boat parade.

Star forward Nikita Kucherov already delivered several memorable moments ahead of the event, including a shirtless, beer-chugging press conference and an "$18 million over the cap" T-shirt.

He kept the party rolling, or should we say floating, down the Hillsborough River and into Julian B Lane Park.
