In reference to Tom Brady’s toss of the Lombardi Trophy after his Buccaneers won the Super Bowl earlier this year, the official Stanley Cup Twitter account made sure it was known that while it is going to be staying local, there will be no boat-connecting throws.
The next morning, the legendary quarterback responded by giving some insight into his previous trophy-throwing state.
Idk…everything feels a bit lighter after some tequilla 😂 https://t.co/9l5mL8saoq

While Lightning captain Steven Stamkos might not let Brady come close to an opportunity to attempt a toss, he is busy pulling an all-nighter with the trophy in hand.
