The Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs have built up a fun rivalry in recent years, and given that the All-Star Game is in Toronto, it was easy to expect some of their rivals to take some fun shots.
A hilarious jab from the Tampa Bay Lightning mascot
While the All-Star Game is yet to get underway, players and mascots are in Toronto promoting the event, and Thunderbug, the mascot of the Tampa Bay Lightning couldn't help himself.

On Thunderbug's cup, aptly named the Stanley Cup is a piece of paper stuck on labeled;
The closest Leafs fans will ever be to a Stanley Cup.
There's not many teams around the league that can boast a better Stanley Cup record in the modern era than Tampa Bay, with three Stanley Cup victories dating back to 2004, and they just couldn't resist.
Toronto on the other hand have famously not lifted Lord Stanley's Cup since way back in 1967 when there were far less teams in the NHL, and while they're looking to rectify that in 2023-24, they can't be mad at a harmless jab from a heated rival.
