Lightning strike back at Fallon with hysterical superlative
The Tampa Bay Lightning gave "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" a taste of its own medicine on Thursday in response to the late night show host's 2015 NHL Stanley Cup Final superlatives — the latest in a recurring segment where Fallon deigns faux yearbook-style awards to athletes.
Check out the video above where Fallon playfully ribs Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks players, including Tampa Bay defenseman Andrej Sustr, who was voted "Most likely to be the first person to be declared 'too white' for hockey." All in good fun, of course.
Not to be outdone, the Lightning couldn't resist zinging back with their own Fallon superlative:

The Blackhawks lead the Finals 1-0 after an incredible 2-1 comeback in the series opener after scoring two goals late in the third period.
