Lightning Players Allow Fans To Drink From Stanley Cup, COVID Nightmare

FILE UNDER — things you should NOT do during a pandemic!

Here’s video of Tampa Bay Lightning players completely ignoring COVID-19 guidelines … passing around the Stanley Cup to fans and allowing them to drink from it.

Yeah, not ideal.

Just hours after the team had its parade to celebrate its championship win over the Dallas Stars — Alex Killorn and Nikita Kucherov took Lord Stanley to Tampa streets.

And, in a complete brain fart given the state of the coronavirus, they gathered in crowds of mask-less people … and poured booze from the top of the trophy into people’s mouths.

Obviously, it’s a big no-no during pandemic times … but even if COVID-19 were under control, it’s probably not the most sanitary thing to do.

We’ve reached out to the Lightning over the videos … but so far, no word back yet.

Meanwhile, it doesn’t seem like the Lightning players — who were all locked away in the NHL bubble throughout their playoff run — have plans of stopping their party anytime soon.

Killorn got on the mic and shouted out Florida governor Ron DeSantis for opening up bars to allow celebrations to continue.
