There was jubilation on July 7 in Thunder Alley, when the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 1-0, to secure the Bolts’ second consecutive Stanley Cup win.
David Eberhard, of Wesley Chapel, his daughter, Kimberly, and some of Kimberly’s teacher friends from Twin Lakes Elementary School were there to soak in the joy-filled atmosphere.
Fans couldn’t be there in person last year to watch the Bolts win the Stanley Cup because of COVID-19, but they went into overdrive this year — creating their own kind of thunder — to celebrate their victorious Bolts.
Here are a few scenes from Amalie Arena, on the series-clinching Game 5 of the finals.
