Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Lightning were the subject of some ridicule after the Lightning lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Avalanche won the final game 2-1 and the series 4-2. Following the defeat, NFL fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and the Lightning.
One fan said that no team complains as much as the Lightning and that it must be Brady’s influence:
Another fan said there's also a hint of former NFL Philip Rivers to go with the Tampa Bay quarterback's influence:
A Denver Broncos fan said the statement was hilarious:
Another Broncos fan said that the New England Patriots don't whine as much as the Lightning:
This Denver Broncos fan said that the statement is 100% spot on:
Another Broncos fan asked if the Buccaneers quarterback showed the Lightning how to get more calls from the referees:
This person urged Tampa Bay fans to suck it up because they've won a Super Bowl and have the three-time NFL MVP for another season:
One fan commented that the quarterback is the richest NFL player ever and still gets free real estate in the minds of others:
A Pittsburgh Steelers fan asserted that no team is as unlikable as the Lightning:
This fan wanted to know if the head coach of the Lightning started on Wall Street while adding that privilege is a hell of a drug:
Tom Brady supporting the Tampa Bay Lightning
Five-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady has supported the Lightning throughout the Stanley Cup playoffs. He was part of a video package of players and personalities who wished the NHL team good luck ahead of their Game Two matchup against the Avalanche. In a video shared by the Lightning, he urged the team to bring home the Cup:
"Let's do this Lightning! Bring home the Cup! Let's go!"
Unfortunately for the Buccaneers quarterback and fellow Lightning fans, Tampa Bay came up short. The Lightning had won the Stanley Cup the previous two seasons before their loss to Colorado.
Tampa Bay fans will have to turn to the NFL for success now and in that there is cause for optimism. With their legendary quarterback set to lead them in 2022 they are heavy favorites for the NFC South and are expected to contend not just for the NFC but the Super Bowl too.
It will be interesting to see if they can win it all in what looks like the final year for the future Hall of Fame quarterback. With the season creeping steadily closer, we only have a few more months to wait before we find out.
