as a Penguins fan i can tell you that we have been very blessed. im glad ovi got the chance to win the cup, its an amazing feeling. im really happy for the capitals, you guys waited so long, enjoy it!!!
Kevin M although it's 4th popular out of the big 4 major sports it's had one.of the highest attendance with 22 out 31 teams has 95 percent attendance. That is pretty big. To say nobody in US cares about hockey is bullshit
Hunter7797 The DMV doesn't extend to Baltimore. It's only really Montgomery, Howard, Frederick, Anne Arundel, and Prince George's. Similarly it's only Northern Virginia, so about 4 counties there (I don't really go to VA so not too sure). To OP: I'm sure there are plenty of Capitols fans, but yeah the proportion is low. I only just now realized we won a Hockey championship because this video showed up on page 2 of my UA-cam recommendations.
What a moment. Although I do kind of wish things were a bit different with social media. So many phones out there. Sometimes you just gotta live in the moment and take it all in. Either way, what a ride! Proud to be a caps fan and so proud of this team/franchise for fighting and getting what they deserve.
Im a vegas fan but congradulations to capital fans you have wated long enough for this and it was our first year so were not mad thanks for a really good series
Wish I'd been there at this epic moment..Every matchday I woke up at 5 in morning in my Siberia to watch each other matches Little sad with it that I wasn't there in Celebration Big Party on DC streets..(Finally our Russians won that Cup..Finally Ovechkin won his first,but I think not the last,Stanley Cup..Kuznetsov was awesome in this play-off..All Team were Awesome..If they wasn't a Team,the One,then they won't win this Final..What a nice day today..Congrats CAPS!!!!!Congrats all the fans of CAPS!!!Congrats Ovie!!! Go, CAPS, Go!!!
I felt the same envy from Northern Alberta Canada. Been a Caps fan for nearly 35 years. I would have loved to be there too. I love all of the Russian players, they have so much character.
Congrats Ovi and the capitals . Not a HUGE hockey fan by any means but appreciate seeing a team and amazing player who deserves every bit of this cup finally get it . Congrats y'all !
As a Leafs fan.. I'm still waiting one day LOLLL. Congrats to the Capital's for relishing a moment that will never be forgotten. Also Ovie and his squad played like Champions.
I'm a diehard Bruins fan but this was exciting!!! Being in the military and moving around a lot I've always supported the home team, unless they're playing Boston, and the atmosphere that takes over the city during Finals is outrageous! I lived in Italy in 2011 and getting up at 2 a.m. for game 7 was definitely worth it!
As a Dallas Stars fan, congratulations to the Washington Capitals. You guys deserved it so much. I watched Ovechkin and the Caps throughout the playoffs. Awesome performance!
I don't live in D.C. or are the Capitals my team. But I do like the Caps and Ovi is one of my favorite players. I am so glad you guys finally won the cup. It was time. It would have really been a shame if a first year expansion team took it away from this Caps team. Congratulations Caps And there fans !!
I was working for the (Canadian) elections that day. 8 am to 9 pm. It was a nice treat to come home after a long day and be able to watch 2 periods of the game. :-).
greatest night of my life :) cry everytime. lets go Caps! first reaction was ellers goal. next was first reaction when clock stopped with like .9 seconds on it. last was the big one
Congrats to the Caps and fans. Can't imagine what this feels like. Earliest memories are watching the Sabres....Can't even be positive I'll feel this before I die :/
AkamapD How about letting them do both? They are there, they feel it, they are living the life so why not also capture it? Nothing wrong with. Who knows when DC will get another champion. Most of us DC fans are younger than 30 so we didn't have the luxury of seeing the 1991 Skins win it all or 44 years ago the caps finally won. Let us do both as we will remember it and now forever know how it felt.
AkamapD I think somebody is jealous their team didn't win at this year. I'm a penguins fan and I'm very happy for the capitals fans believe me there not missing out on anything. it's about time they won it
whereeyeend I know you commented this a month ago but aside from soccer hockey is probably the most diverse sport. Diversity isn't just blacks and whites it's all different countries too
I was there, so many heroes: Ovi...Holtby...Eller...DSP...Kuznetsov...Backstrom...Oshie...Trotz...the liquor store on F Street where I bought 3 8% beers for $4...
Washington is a city of power and politics and right now whats bring everyome together and for once just forget about politics the Capitals are bringing everyone together.
Coming from a Flyers fan who I have a feeling won't live to see them win it all again anytime soon (though we did just get a Super Bowl, so that offsets that), I can say, be proud of it. After you guys avenged us and your previous two losses against the Penguins, I felt that you had a shot. I was overjoyed when Kuznetsov got that winning goal in overtime. And then, it happened. You can be proud of it. As UrinatingTree said, the memes are dead. His "Congrats, Capitals!" video was really big of him to do. Congrats!
I left DC in 2014. But still didn't stop loving my Caps. I truly thought we were going to be cursed like Cubs or Red Sox fans. Thankfully it wasn't as long. I can die happy now.
I'm a Blackhawks fan and a capitals fan I'm so happy that Ovi go the cup along with the others. Ovi deserves that cup more them anyone else. We all know he does but not the golden nights that don't think they should.
Look up Dick Mottas quote "it aint over till the fat lady sings" 1978 44-38 nba champion Washington Bullets Aka Wizards ..Wes Unseld Elvin Hayes Bobby Dandridge Kevin Grevey Charles Johnson Tom Henderson Larry Wright and the Mitch Kupchek yes that former La Lakers Gm and player ..they won it all...7 games ...lowest amount of wins most losses for a team to ever win a nba title ...its like if a 7 seed won it all today..insane..
Tony Davidson I don't think the caps hype train is sustainable. Grant and Danny said the same thing. Football comes first in this town. Who cares though all DC teams have my support
Mathias Worku I think that’s changing. The younger generation, the kids in high school (I graduated the day we won the cup) are moving away from football hockey and basketball are the bigger sports for us. Football is sorta just a tradition at this point with its declining ratings
as a Penguins fan i can tell you that we have been very blessed. im glad ovi got the chance to win the cup, its an amazing feeling. im really happy for the capitals, you guys waited so long, enjoy it!!!
Thank you very much! That mean a lot coming from you
Well deserved party, well deserved!! SALUTE to every DC athlete that wanted to bring this moment to the DMV. FINALLY!
Nice to see Americans care about Hockey....Capitals fans really support their squad!!!
Crow_2k11 Beats By Dre The DMV is mainly just proud to win a championship. In my 22 years of living, none of our sports teams have amounted to much
Crow_2k11 Beats By Dre The majority of the US don’t care about hockey
Kevin M although it's 4th popular out of the big 4 major sports it's had one.of the highest attendance with 22 out 31 teams has 95 percent attendance. That is pretty big. To say nobody in US cares about hockey is bullshit
DNG3 umm the DMV had 2 Super Bowls to celebrate a lot of us in MD love the Ravens Os and Caps
Hunter7797 The DMV doesn't extend to Baltimore. It's only really Montgomery, Howard, Frederick, Anne Arundel, and Prince George's. Similarly it's only Northern Virginia, so about 4 counties there (I don't really go to VA so not too sure).

So wonderful to see all the different faces and races coming together - and to celebrate hockey no less! =D
Chalkzone0 Stfu, fool.
Finally I was starting to think he was never going to get 1 if anyone deserves it's Alex Ovechkin🏆🍾🥂
So happy DC won something for a change #GoCaps!
awesome to see hockey being fully appreciated. gr8st pro sport there is!
Huge capital fan from Portland OR.... you almost tear up from every video ....
Been watching the caps for my whole life can’t believe it
Congratulations DC fans!
ronocordera thanks
Time to rock out let's go dmv. Go capsssss.
Juicemann Nbaboy2k18 DMV here y0!
As a long suffering North Stars/Wild fan I know the pain, congrats all Washington fans, I’m glad ya got the cup #respect
We finally won something in Washington
jarmal22312 3 super bowls, and an NBA title before that. However, this is probably the most emotional win
Well since 1996
Hopefully it broke the curse over DC sports teams. I know I’m ready for another Lombardi trophy in Washington.
FUCK NO...... D.C = Dallas Cowboys now the Wizards maybe just maybe
LMFAO #DMV
Nothing but tears of joy....
I was there...absolutely amazing moment with fans as the Capitals win the cup!!!!!
Congratulations from all Leafs fans. You have always been a class organization.
What a moment. Although I do kind of wish things were a bit different with social media. So many phones out there. Sometimes you just gotta live in the moment and take it all in. Either way, what a ride! Proud to be a caps fan and so proud of this team/franchise for fighting and getting what they deserve.
This #ProudDCNative loves it ! Time to brag at work on Sunday! #LetsGoCaps #StanleyCupChampions
Curtis Garner LOL
Party hard Washington way to go
Congratulations from Poland

I was watching it too at hole SCREAMING LIKE CRAZY!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Montreal 🇨🇦 fan ! I was so happy for the Caps ! This is a great feeling ! They earned that Stanley Cup ! Hell ya !
It was off the charts !
As a Kings fan going through this twice I say, enjoy this Caps fans! You deserve it! Glad to see Ovi finally lift the cup over his head.
We are the champions....Cap's Cap's Cap's 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Congrats Ovi and the capitals . Not a HUGE hockey fan by any means but appreciate seeing a team and amazing player who deserves every bit of this cup finally get it . Congrats y'all !
I can relate...with the Eagles winning the Super Bowl this year. Congrats to the CAPS and their fans! Cheers from Philly!
NGL...going to a Nats/Phillies game a couple weeks after this, there was a real detente in that both sides had finally won something.
Way to go Caps!!! Always a Bruins fan but love to see what a Stanley Cup means to its fans - Enjoy being # 1
Good for Washington, I'm glad they won it.
I live in Vancouver and I haven't experienced this yet 😅. Closest thing was being downtown when Sid scored the golden goal in '10
Congratulations. I always love seeing a team winning its first championship. That`s always a special moment.
As a Leafs fan.. I'm still waiting one day LOLLL. Congrats to the Capital's for relishing a moment that will never be forgotten. Also Ovie and his squad played like Champions.
There's nothing like your first. Congrats caps. Nice job
GR8 8 IN 18!
Поздравляю с долгожданной победой!
One of the best fan bases imo. Especially after 40+ years!!!
I'm a diehard Bruins fan but this was exciting!!! Being in the military and moving around a lot I've always supported the home team, unless they're playing Boston, and the atmosphere that takes over the city during Finals is outrageous! I lived in Italy in 2011 and getting up at 2 a.m. for game 7 was definitely worth it!
What a beautiful sight to my sore eyes!! CAPS!!!! #CapsWIN #StanleyCup
As a Dallas Stars fan, congratulations to the Washington Capitals. You guys deserved it so much. I watched Ovechkin and the Caps throughout the playoffs. Awesome performance!

Chuck Brown's Bustin Loose playing in the background. Pretty dope. Congrats Caps.
Finally DC deserves it we waited too long for a championship
I don't live in D.C. or are the Capitals my team. But I do like the Caps and Ovi is one of my favorite players. I am so glad you guys finally won the cup. It was time. It would have really been a shame if a first year expansion team took it away from this Caps team. Congratulations Caps And there fans !!
D.C. all baby
Astros, Eagles and Caps break their championship droughts.
I was working for the (Canadian) elections that day. 8 am to 9 pm. It was a nice treat to come home after a long day and be able to watch 2 periods of the game. :-).
greatest night of my life :) cry everytime. lets go Caps! first reaction was ellers goal. next was first reaction when clock stopped with like .9 seconds on it. last was the big one
Congrats to the Caps and fans. Can't imagine what this feels like. Earliest memories are watching the Sabres....Can't even be positive I'll feel this before I die :/
Thanks for uploading this. Looking forward to do make other uploads tonight from lots of Caps fans
Even Benjamin Franklin was there!!
As a Philly fan I will say Congratulations to Washington for winning their first cup and happy to finally Ovechkin get his moment
Capitals were amazing in the playoffs. Got to hand it to them they were a real force. Hoping the Flames can make Playoffs next season. Go Flames Go!!!
So Proud of my Capitals #Washington
Bming King shut your bandwagon ass up 😂😂

I am crying tears of happiness never expected my capitals to win but they did
Bming King L
Bming King your a warriors fan lmao lost all credibility
Way to go boys
great hockey -team
Happy for the caps
People focusing on their phones instead of enjoying the moment, they're missing life
AkamapD How about letting them do both? They are there, they feel it, they are living the life so why not also capture it? Nothing wrong with. Who knows when DC will get another champion. Most of us DC fans are younger than 30 so we didn't have the luxury of seeing the 1991 Skins win it all or 44 years ago the caps finally won. Let us do both as we will remember it and now forever know how it felt.
That is exactly what I keep saying to myself. They need to focus on the moment.
Nah I was there. People weren’t really on their phones. They would take 6 second videos and that’s about it
AkamapD I think somebody is jealous their team didn't win at this year. I'm a penguins fan and I'm very happy for the capitals fans believe me there not missing out on anything. it's about time they won it
Bruce Cook im a capitals fan wtf u talking about
I still can’t believe this is real! I’m still in tears! #WEWONTHECUP
Chalkzone0 You can’t even spell 😂
welcome to the dmv :)) much love from maryland ❤️
DM[V] !!!!!! I CAN FEEL THIS FROM THE CAPITAL OF CALIFORNIA ! 💪🏽💪🏽#ALLCAPS
Sill love coming back to this.
Yeah Caps!
0:05 sounds better when you dub in the Capitals Goal horn!
Way to go guys #GoCaps
Just awesome Love it
I thought the ice melted in the last seconds! it was so hot!
I popped at least 6 beers and shook them in the sky tonight in DC when they won
Most diverse hockey crowd ever !
whereeyeend I know you commented this a month ago but aside from soccer hockey is probably the most diverse sport. Diversity isn't just blacks and whites it's all different countries too
I was there, so many heroes: Ovi...Holtby...Eller...DSP...Kuznetsov...Backstrom...Oshie...Trotz...the liquor store on F Street where I bought 3 8% beers for $4...
Washington is a city of power and politics and right now whats bring everyome together and for once just forget about politics the Capitals are bringing everyone together.
Heck yeah!
Coming from a Flyers fan who I have a feeling won't live to see them win it all again anytime soon (though we did just get a Super Bowl, so that offsets that), I can say, be proud of it.

As UrinatingTree said, the memes are dead. His "Congrats, Capitals!" video was really big of him to do. Congrats!
Congratulations to the Capitals!!! Sid the kid and the Penguins will bounce back hopefully
Greetings across the pond,i cried like a all newborn"babes" celebrate and drink beer people of Washington
I left DC in 2014. But still didn't stop loving my Caps. I truly thought we were going to be cursed like Cubs or Red Sox fans. Thankfully it wasn't as long. I can die happy now.
I was on F st between 8th and 9th street among the madness. One of the greatest times ever! Waited a long time.
I'm a Blackhawks fan and a capitals fan I'm so happy that Ovi go the cup along with the others. Ovi deserves that cup more them anyone else. We all know he does but not the golden nights that don't think they should.
When I die I want the Toronto Maple Leafs to be my Pallbearers.
So they can let me down one last time.
rawdog42 hey man that is hilarious. I need to share with all my goofy friends that follow the Leafs.
Now if only the Wizards can do the same...
V T Sharp
Look up Dick Mottas quote "it aint over till the fat lady sings" 1978 44-38 nba champion Washington Bullets Aka Wizards ..Wes Unseld Elvin Hayes Bobby Dandridge Kevin Grevey Charles Johnson Tom Henderson Larry Wright and the Mitch Kupchek yes that former La Lakers Gm and player ..they won it all...7 games ...lowest amount of wins most losses for a team to ever win a nba title ...its like if a 7 seed won it all today..insane..
Asmosis Jones that series with the spurs in the playoffs......Gervin was torching them!!! That's when the MEN played REAL ball
If Kevin Durant leaves the Warriors and goes to the Wizards, they'll have a chance. They're not winning a ring with John Wall as the best player.
Nats need one wizards haven’t shown any promise in the super team era
#AllCAPS
Now it’s time for the Nationals, Redskins and Wizards to bring this excitement home Let’s Go Caps #ROCKDARED
Go Canucks......2019 is our year.......Vancouver Baby......Canada....Canada Canada
people dont understand that there are 4 other full streets bigger than this one full of fans aswell
North America's oldest professional sports trophy the Stanley Cup....Congrats Caps fans
2:38 lol, people climbing light posts and trees and the cops are just watching, one cop is even taking a selfie
Go crazy, Caps fans, go crazy!!!! Wait's over!!!! 😆😆
The NFL has been replaced!
MrJoey1570 D.C. is a sneaky hockey town. Caps games are hands down the best sporting experience in town.
This is huge and the caps have a big following. I think we all know the skins would draw a bigger crowd....maybe even the Nats too
Tony Davidson I don't think the caps hype train is sustainable. Grant and Danny said the same thing. Football comes first in this town. Who cares though all DC teams have my support
Mathias Worku I think that’s changing. The younger generation, the kids in high school (I graduated the day we won the cup) are moving away from football hockey and basketball are the bigger sports for us. Football is sorta just a tradition at this point with its declining ratings
I was outside Capital One Arena. That shit was crazier than it seems here
My city finally won the Stanley cup
I was there climbed up a tree love you Ovi!!!
See Philadelphia you can celebrate and not destroy your own city. CLASS!
I think they will all go to the White House. As a Canadian with NHL dreams I would have been honored to meet the President no matter who he or she is.
Politics should stay out of sports but it'll never happen cause of the left. Always need people or something to drive their narrative
Put your phones down people for Christs sake!
kudos to the real heroes - the people who have to clean up the mess these people left
DC sports curse broken. Skins will get a ring in next 5 years.
I'm a huge skins fan, but more closer to 10 years, unless someone takes Snyder out of the equation
Now that’s optimism and I’ve been a diehard Skins fan since birth! I’d love it for you to be right.
I hope so A. SMITH finna carry
Don't push it
I think the Nats will win the World Series before the the skins win a Super Bowl
I'm burying my lifelong Blues fan hurt deep, deep down.
Wally Iverson My Gloria, talk about something that didn’t age well....😂
