When it comes to champions, it takes one to know one.

The defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning congratulated their football counterparts, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for earning a berth in Super Bowl LV.

Lightning captain Steven Stamkos was fired up for the Buccaneers win against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC championship game.

Forward Pat Maroon, a member of the past two Cup champions, also chimed in with congrats for the Bucs.

Forwards Mathieu Joseph and Blake Coleman were also watching.

For the Buccaneers, it will take one more win to see if they can keep the "Champa Bay" thing going.
