Miracle On Ice v.2 (Stanley Cup)
-
The watch party outside the Capital One Arena. Fans with no tickets, there for the party!
-
Caps win 6-2 and Ovi is closer to finally shutting up all his critics.
-
That’s an impressive crowd.
-
Should the Caps finish it off next game, it will be pretty amazing to see Ovechkin skating around with the Cup over his head. But Game 5 is in Vegas... he might want to save the skate for Game 6 back at home. The Stanley Cup is the coolest trophy in world sports.

Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

I don’t think any hockey fan begrudges the Caps, and think most probably are happy for them. They’ve been a snakebitten franchise for so long, it’s good to see a team win their first, and good to see Ovechkin will get his name engraved in the Cup. He deserves it, and can tick that box and shut all the haters up, once and for all.

NHL must be happy the season ended in Vegas. It’s the first time Gary Bettman hasn’t been booed out of the arena while presenting the Cup in a quarter-century.
-
Season is a real grind. Not counting pre-season exhibition games, the Caps played 106 regular season + playoff games before holding the Cup over their heads. That is gruelling.

And they had to get past their nemesis the Pens to get to the finals. A win-win for the Caps faithful.

@salacious-crumb I think the emotion expressed in that photo of OV shows the intensity of what he is experiencing. Great pic.
