This mindset didn't change once the boats took off:
Fans were able to watch along from the river walk after supporting the team from afar during the playoff run.
The Lightning were impressive throughout the postseason, going 16-6 overall while never facing a Game 7 in any round. Even with captain Steven Stamkos sidelined for most of the playoffs, the rest of the team stepped up, including Conn Smythe winner Victor Hedman.
It all helpedย bring home the second Stanley Cup title in franchise history and first since 2004.
After a bizarre season that featured an extended break due to the pandemic and a postseason in a bubble, the players enjoyed a well-earned celebration Wednesday.
