Funny first hand account of what it was like on H street outside the arena during the game.



Because D.C., of course, has been waiting for this moment for a very long time. You could tell the people here chafed at the idea of being a minor league sports town, as noted dipshit Mike Wilbon said. If that was ever the case, it isn’t now. It’s a strange and transformative thing, to see a fanbase win a title. It’s not merely a show of support, but it’s also something of a rebirth. These Caps fans, once they sweat out the toxins, are not going to be the fans they once were. There is a pride, and a confidence, that will radiate out from them for years and years and years. That always has the chance to curdle into something awful (see: Boston), but for now it remains in its delightful infancy.

I like this one. When Alex was drafted and became a Capital, the Capitals were a team led by Olie for the most part. He was their best player and was a star in Washington at least in previous years, certainly the most popular Cap at the time. Olie passed the torch to Ovie, and here is Ovie passing the Cup to Olie.

Plus, EJ's dopey face in the background is kinda funny too.

This is a great watch from HNIC. Does a great job in showing what a gauntlet this tournament is. Everyone thinks their team has a chance.

Shows what an amazing accomplishment this truly was. Vegas was rolling teams when they got to us. We struggled every step of the way.


fwiw this isnt from hnic, its a fan made one
