They were losing heartbreaking playoff series more than 30 years ago. They have really good fans.Look at all these Caps' fans who have bled red for three years suffering and waiting for this very moment!
Seriously. I was marginally team Vegas for the finals, but Peter Bondra, Olaf Kolzig, Rod Langway, Adam Oates, and Al Iafrate all died for this dayThey were losing heartbreaking playoff series more than 30 years ago. They have really good fans.

Huh? The Capitals won Game 1 of their series against the Lightning. That was a nice exorcism series too, they were up 2-0 and needed to show they could finally seal the deal as a dominant team.There was definitely a 2004 vibe to this postseason. Though Caps had a 7-game series between their "exorcise the demons" series and the final, dominant step to seal the deal.
First time since 1991 I believe that a team won the Cup after losing game 1 of every series.
I was wrong - first in a long time to win the Cup after trailing in each series.Huh? The Capitals won Game 1 of their series against the Lightning. That was a nice exorcism series too, they were up 2-0 and needed to show they could finally seal the deal as a dominant team.
Yep, seventh inning, still there, standing up to flash the Cup to the adoring crowd then and again.Watching the Nats/Giants game and most of the Caps are there, along with the Cup. 48 hours later (or whatever) they are still spectacularly hammered, pouring Bud Lights on each other and on the announcer interviewing them while belting out a delightfully off-key version of "We Are The Champions" with a variety of accents.
Get over yourself.Parade happening now. The players should be embarrassed for drinking all that Bud Light.
Indeed... "Sex in a Canoe"....Parades start early in the day and are long affairs - one has to hydrate, and Bud Light is a close relative of water....
