44 years in the making! Decades of heartbreak erased! "The Great 8", Alex Ovechkin, the greatest lamp-lighter, and all-around hockey player, since Wayne Gretzky, and Nicklas Backstrom, the "Smooth Swede", "The Assist God", finally win a championship for DC after 11 years of playing together! All of DC goes completely nuts!
Thank you Ovie and Backie and Oshie and Holtby, and everyone else! This town needed it!
I was very happy the Capitals won, and Ovechkin finally got to hoist the Cup over his head. That is a hockey-fan bucket list item I've had that is nice to check off.
Now it's time to bring my Hartford Whalers back home!
