The Tampa Bay Lightning won their second Stanley Cup in as many years last night, beating the Montreal Canadians 1-0 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Another Championship means another boat parade, that scheduled to take place this Monday July 12th on the Tampa Riverfront according to Fox 13.
A highlight of the post-game fun was a shirtless Nikita Kucherov slamming a beer and the city of Montreal. “The fans in Montreal, come on,” said Kucherov. “They acted like they won the Stanley Cup, last game. You kidding me? You kidding me? Their final was last series, ok.” Kucherov was also unhappy about his goalie, Andrei Vasilevskiy, being snubbed for the Vezina Trophy, awarded to the best goalie in hockey every year & closing out his displeasure with a very fitting “number one bullshit”, we couldn’t agree more.

#HMB 236: See You Next Tuesday, You Lil' Monkeys!
Here's a picture of the old St. Pete Pier because I didn't take a picture this week. Pretty, huh?
This week on the show I'm all by my lonesome talking about Roseanne getting fired for an alcohol and Ambien fueled tweet & Samantha Bee not being fired for calling the presidents daughter a C-word, while insinuating that she should try to seduce him sexually (gross). Everybody is still mad at everyone down partisan lines & we're all making excuses for members of our "team" who are getting in trouble, oy vey. The Lightning blow another chance to bring home Stanley's Cup and people are talking about maybe firing Coach Cooper. The Las Vegas Golden Knights are in their first year of existence and have a shot to win it all but Las Vegas casinos may be secretly hoping they don't.
