Tom Brady, who famously tossed the
Lombardi Trophy across water to another boat during the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers’ Super Bowl celebration in February, responded to a
message from the NHL’s Stanley Cup Twitter account after the Tampa
Bay Lightning secured their second straight title Wednesday.
Brady led the Bucs to a 31-9 blowout
victory over the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, and the franchise opted
for a water-based celebration rather than a traditional parade.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion proceeded to deliver a strike to tight end Cameron Brate on a moderately long
throw across the water without losing the trophy or poking anybody’s
eye out, so it was no harm, no foul.

Brady was later shown on video needing
some assistance as the celebration moved back to land, something he
jokingly blamed on avocado tequila:
The Lightning continued the city’s
title-winning ways by clinching another Cup with a Game 5 victory
over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night.
Brady, who’s got a little free time
on his hands between his appearance in Capital One’s The Match on
Tuesday and the start of Bucs training camp July 24, sounds ready to
help Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, Andrei Vasilevskiy and Co. with
their Cup-tossing technique if called upon.
The future Hall of Famer might just need a couple of drinks
first, especially since the NHL’s championship trophy weighs 34.5
pounds compared to the seven-pound Lombardi Trophy.
