![[FULL] Alex Ovechkin and Washington Capitals celebrate 2018 Stanley Cup championship | ESPN](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/stmm6bmHA48/mqdefault.jpg)
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).
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.
congratulations from Russia, we can only envy such a wonderful fans
Thanks for the superstar, the greatest Russian ever to play in the NHL, and the face of the Capitals.
@@joevail6959 *Datsyuk enters chat*
StalledRain40 lol sad that you think that. Dats was a legend. Ovi is a god.
The chicks watching hockey in Washington are hotter than the chicks who watch NBA, NFL, or MLS
great hockey -team
What a time to be alive Pre COVID
CAPS!!!
Finally I was starting to think he was never going to get 1 if anyone deserves it's Alex Ovechkin🏆🍾🥂
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
North America's oldest professional sports trophy the Stanley Cup....Congrats Caps fans
Well deserved party, well deserved!! SALUTE to every DC athlete that wanted to bring this moment to the DMV. FINALLY!
Astros, Eagles and Caps break their championship droughts.
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
Well...at least we didnt riot after winning like philly did after the super bowl ._.
Finally DC deserves it we waited too long for a championship
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.
So wonderful to see all the different faces and races coming together - and to celebrate hockey no less! =D
Chalkzone0 Stfu, fool.
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.
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
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
Best night ever!!! It was raining champagne, beer and water CAPS FANS WILL NEVER FORGET 06/07/18🏆💍. ALL CAPS!!!!!
So happy DC won something for a change #GoCaps!
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.
My city finally won the Stanley cup
Even Benjamin Franklin was there!!
Congratulations DC fans!
ronocordera thanks
We are the champions....Cap's Cap's Cap's 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Time to rock out let's go dmv. Go capsssss.
Juicemann Nbaboy2k18 DMV here y0!
Поздравляю с долгожданной победой!
As a long suffering North Stars/Wild fan I know the pain, congrats all Washington fans, I’m glad ya got the cup #respect
I live in Vancouver and I haven't experienced this yet 😅. Closest thing was being downtown when Sid scored the golden goal in '10
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.
NHL is way better than that soft NBA
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
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.
Congratulations from Poland
This #ProudDCNative loves it ! Time to brag at work on Sunday! #LetsGoCaps #StanleyCupChampions
Curtis Garner LOL
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 !!
Been watching the caps for my whole life can’t believe it
Good for Washington, I'm glad they won it.
Party hard Washington way to go
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
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.
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. :-).
awesome to see hockey being fully appreciated. gr8st pro sport there is!
#DCfamily #dcornothing
Congratulations from all Leafs fans. You have always been a class organization.
As a Philly fan I will say Congratulations to Washington for winning their first cup and happy to finally Ovechkin get his moment
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
What a beautiful sight to my sore eyes!! CAPS!!!! #CapsWIN #StanleyCup
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
Way to go Caps!!! Always a Bruins fan but love to see what a Stanley Cup means to its fans - Enjoy being # 1
Huge capital fan from Portland OR.... you almost tear up from every video ....
DM[V] !!!!!! I CAN FEEL THIS FROM THE CAPITAL OF CALIFORNIA ! 💪🏽💪🏽#ALLCAPS
I was there...absolutely amazing moment with fans as the Capitals win the cup!!!!!
I popped at least 6 beers and shook them in the sky tonight in DC when they won
Bigger crowd than traitor trumps inauguration
There's nothing like your first. Congrats caps. Nice job
Put your phones down people for Christs sake!
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!!!
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!
Now it’s time for the Nationals, Redskins and Wizards to bring this excitement home Let’s Go Caps #ROCKDARED
2:38 lol, people climbing light posts and trees and the cops are just watching, one cop is even taking a selfie
GR8 8 IN 18!
So Proud of my Capitals #Washington
Bming King shut your bandwagon ass up 😂😂
this is the greatest example of a diehard loyal fan so take notes young bloods
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
Montreal 🇨🇦 fan ! I was so happy for the Caps ! This is a great feeling ! They earned that Stanley Cup ! Hell ya !
I wish the wizards could do the same
Look at all the cellphones ... omg
Tell me about it! Put the damn phones down and enjoy the moment! If you want to watch it later...go to youtube, if you want to show your friends...share the link.
Tumble Tumblr How would it be on UA-cam without the phones? 🤔
If only ESPN was there with a camera... Like the one used to shoot this video...
Or share your moment too
welcome to the new generation of technology where your snapchat fans enjoy the moment more then the actuall fan standing in the crowed.
Good for Washington
Now if only the wizards can get a championship lol
the nationals need one..the bullets aka wizarda won one 40 years ago led by 2 hall of famers wes unseld and the Big E Elvin hayes whose a top 9 scorer in nba history by the way and of course bobby dandridge Bobby" Big D" Dandridge ..what an unfair frontline....its like when the celtics had parish mchale bird...it was that upsurd
At least hey already have one hoping the Nats can grab one
If they can sign kd it'll happen
Right now the Nationals have the best shot, but I'm afraid the window might close soon.
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 still can’t believe this is real! I’m still in tears! #WEWONTHECUP
Chalkzone0 You can’t even spell 😂
Greetings across the pond,i cried like a all newborn"babes" celebrate and drink beer people of Washington
0:03 The girl-who-could-care-less, left of center, texting during a big score.
One of the best fan bases imo. Especially after 40+ years!!!
Where can i buy a capitals Jersey i need a new one i only have a vintage one
Literally any place where you can buy jerseys.
Bming King I still have my alternate jersey which I am still rocking with
Bming King online or come to the DC area.
Www.bandwagon.com
SinisterMud LMAOOOOO
Imagine if THEY don’t show up to the WH 😂
Cali Greene that's probably the only sports team that will go to the WH
Just DSP
Allen Bowlds qanon is legit
MTB4miSoul bama football, Houston astros already visited
Trump isn't worthy of Ovechkin's presence.
ALLCAPS
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!
0:05 sounds better when you dub in the Capitals Goal horn!
Lets go... capitals... ovi congratz.. wohooooo
I was watching it too at hole SCREAMING LIKE CRAZY!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Chuck Brown's Bustin Loose playing in the background. Pretty dope. Congrats Caps.
I was there 😊😊
Rob4U! Really? I searched everywhere for waldo and I couldn't find you.
Kevin Furtado your comment says everything about you smdh 🤦♂️
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.
Glorious
Here's a random fact: Chuck Todd is a Washington Capitals fan
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 burying my lifelong Blues fan hurt deep, deep down.
Wally Iverson My Gloria, talk about something that didn’t age well....😂
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 !
Are you guys ok?
2020 still come back to this and Ovi hoisting the Stanley cup.
Followed by the Nationals finally winning it. Maybe one day the skins will win one again
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
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
Nice to see this as opposed to bus fires, smashed shopfronts and over-turned police cars...Way to celebrate Washington!!
PUT DOWN the Cell.. Enjoy the moment. Hug a sister or brother.
See Philadelphia you can celebrate and not destroy your own city. CLASS!
I remember when we won we seemed a little more excited. Instead of jumping it seems their hopping and calm. I guess maybe its because I was celebrating too but here in southern Cali we went fucking nuts but we are home of the riots
Big Jay Esparza They weren't having that here. They were already prepared with roped off areas and police presence. Check 3:36. The officers stationed on the top steps of the museum making their way down to remove the few disorderlies climbing the poles...😄
Lavender dc it still seemed a little unenergized for a lack of a better word. Im not hating what so ever Ovi is my favorite player and Caps are my east team. I was rooting for them all along especially against Vegas who put us out in the first round.
I was outside Capital One Arena. That shit was crazier than it seems here
“Not a real sport”- said nobody ever. Except for twitter clowns 🤡
Happy for the caps
