After winning the Stanley Cup for a second year in a row, the Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated with a victory boat parade. Unfortunately, they may have had too much fun and dented the trophy. The irony is, that the cup will be sent to Montreal for repairs. The home city of the team they just beat to win the cup.
