In response to a Fallon’s national television segment poking fun at players in the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals – from both Tampa and Chicago – the local team dished back its own brand of humor via Twitter.

Playing off Fallon’s finals-related sketch, the team posted an image of Fallon in a New York Rangers jersey with the words “Most likely to regret getting a 2015 Rangers Stanley Cup Champions tramp stamp” printed below it.
Fallon recently ran a segment on the “Tonight Show” that poked fun at players from both finals teams. The segment showed players’ team photos with high school yearbook-like personality awards assigned. The Bolts’ Valtteri Filppula was dubbed by Fallon as the “most likely to spin around in a chair and reveal his evil plan while petting a hairless cat.”
Victor Hedman was named the “most likely to be the love child of Brad Pitt and Benicio Del Toro.”
The Blackhawks didn’t escape Fallon’s humor either.
Patrick Kane was named the “most likely to be a little boy doll sold on the QVC Network.”
The YouTube video of the segment has gone viral with more than 217,000 views since it was posted Thursday.
The Lightning and Blackhawks faceoff for game two in the finals at 7:15 p.m. Saturday.
