Whats old is new again: The 2020 Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning are now the 2021 Stanley Cup champions, beating Montreal 1-0 in Game 5 on Wednesday. "To do it in front of our fans and our families, it's so special, special, I never thought I would ever experience this in my life. It's unbelievable," Victor Hedman said during an on-ice interview. When the Lightning won their last Cup 282 days ago, they did it in the Edmonton bubble. On July 7, in a clinically dominating game, they shut the Canadiens out, 1-0, in front of a packed Amalie Arena in Tampa. MORE: "This group, no matter what happens from here on out, this group is going to be etched in history forever, and that's pretty fing special," captain Steven Stamkos said. "I'm so proud of the guys. You can't soak it in yet. It's so fresh. It's so new. You Jeff Locke Jersey don't even realize what's going to happen. We won the Stanley Cup and we still have the Stanley Cup. That's just amazing." New Jersey native Ro s Colton, who grew up watching the Devils win their Cups in 2000 and 2003, scored the lone goal of the game off a pa s from David Savard. Those two guys were the only ones in the Lightning lineup for Game 5 who did not win the Cup with the team last year. Savard was with the Blue Jackets; Colton is a rookie. In an ironic twist, Colton is the seventh rookie to score the Cup-clincher and the first since Mike Rupp did it . MORE: The Conn Smythe winner, Andrei Vasilevskiy, stopped all 22 shots he faced in the clincher. What a run by him, by the way he ended the postseason with a shutout in every series-clinching win, an NHL record. Unreal. Vasilevskiy, the third Ru sian to win the award (joining Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin) as the "most valuable player to his team in the playoffs," posted a 1.90 goals-against Martin Prado Jersey average, .937 save percentage and had five shutouts in 23 games. "He makes guys like us look good is what he does," said coach Jon Cooper, surrounded by his coaching staff. "What's remarkable to me is I can't believe how he shuts the door in the biggest games of his career. What is it, five now? He's the big cat and when he locks in, he is remarkable to watch." With the win, the Lightning moved to an impre sive 13-0 in games following a lo s dating back to last year's first round (both their Cups were clinched in games following a lo s). They are just the second team this century to win back-to-back Cups, following Pittsburgh's two straight in 2016 and '17.
