The Tampa Bay Lightning visited the White House on Monday, with the Stanley Cup in tow, as the team continues with the long trend of professional US sports teams being invited to Washington DC to meet the US President after winning a Championship.
During the visit, President Joe Biden delivered a speech to congratulate the Lightning on winning their second consecutive Stanley Cup Championship. However, the highlight of the day was not President Biden's speech - it was a blooper within the speech that caught everyone's attention.
So what was so funny about the speech? Well, for starters, Biden referred to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman as "Commissioner Gary Batman". What was even better was the reaction of Victor Hedman, who was standing behind the US President in the picture. Hedman completely lost his composure and had to turn away from the camera as he burst out laughing with a teammate, just out of the frame.
