Lightning Round: The adventures of the Stanley Cup in Russia

As we already reported earlier this week, the Stanley Cup has finally made it to Russia. The Russian players of the Tampa Bay Lightning were the last ones to have an opportunity to bring it to their hometown. Apparently, the Stanley Cup’s visit to Russia was very questionable, because the NHL was very worried about the epidemic situation in the country, but eventually they allowed it after an undisclosed Russian player sent a letter to the league.

The #StanleyCup and Conn Smythe Trophy arrive in Russia for a historic 4 day tour with the @TBLightning champions.
