       THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING ARE TWO-TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. BILIRAKIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring some thunder to the 
House Chamber and recognize the now two-time Stanley Cup Champion Tampa 
Bay Lightning.
  Behind the leadership of Captain Steven Stamkos and Stanley Cup MVP 
Victor Hedman, the Bolts have enshrined themselves as one of the 
greatest teams of all time.
  Although COVID prevented fans from attending the playoffs, the 
distant thunder of the greatest fans in hockey and the determination of 
the Lightning got them to the top of the mountain, Mr. Speaker.
  Mr. Speaker, as we say in Tampa Bay, Stanley Needs a Tan. And let me 
just say, it is sunny back in Tampa Bay.
  While one Tampa Bay championship run comes to an end, another begins. 
Best of luck to the Tampa Bay Rays as they begin their quest to secure 
their first World Series title.
  Let's make Tampa Bay Title Town USA.
