In the last game, coach Jonas Cooper’s students beat the opponents 2: 0.
The goals were scored by Brayden Point and Blake Coleman, and Russia goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevsky blocked all 22 opponents’ shots.
Swede Victor Hedman shone even more in defense of the Tampa representatives. The 29-year-old hockey player scored 10 goals and 12 assists in 22 playoff games, in addition to excellent work beyond his blue line.
He has become only the second defender in the past 13 years, selected as the most useful playoff player in the NHL.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic in the Edmonton bubble, Canada, the final series began with the failure of the Tampa Bay Lightning, but then the Florida team won three times in a row and took the initiative.
“It is not easy to close the bubble in 80 days. But it was worth it”, assured V. Hedman.
The Stanley Cup was won by the Tampa Bay Lightning just once before in 2004, on the eve of the league’s longest NHL lockout in ten-month history.
Therefore, due to the pandemic, Tampa hockey players who finished the season three months later than usual can be called NHL crisis experts who respond more effectively to aggravated circumstances.
En route to the final, the champions eliminated the Columbus Blue Jackets (4-1), the Boston Bruins (4-1) and the New York Islanders (4-2).
For their part, the Stars reached the final for the first time since 2000, and for the only time, the Dallas club won the main trophy in 1999.
