Love the clips of OV telling Backstrom he's going to give him the Cup 2nd, and of course Oshie and his dad hugging, crying, and telling each other they love them.

I recently found out that I went to high school with Devante Smith-Pelly's mom, small world.
Love seeing how over the top excited Ovi is to win this thing. It's the toughest trophy in sports to win, he's been savaged by his critics for years ( I was one of them). Enjoy this thing, Alex. You've earned it.

Not to mention the first ever Cup for the Capitals franchise as well, and the first major sports championship of any kind in D.C. since 1992. This is a big deal for that city.
Crowds were really large for the parade today. I would say, they spaced it out a bit too much for my liking, I waited well over 2 hours from the start time before I saw (in the distance) the final bus with the Cup. I was at 7th, so right at the end of the route, but still. Also, the knock-off vendors were making a killing!
We were just down the street! Here are some pictures of the parade today courtesy of my 7 year old. It was definitely a fun-loving crowd with beer flowing all around. Players trying to spray the fans, fans throwing beers to the players. Good time had by all.

"Over the next few months, Ovechkin will return home to Moscow and have his day with the Cup, celebrate Russia hosting the World Cup and become a father when wife Nastya gives birth to their first child."
Hopefully, I can help motivate other players to keep funneling beers and pounding shots even when people start saying it’s time for them to quit—because that’s what you have to do if you want to take home that trophy one day and fill it to the brim with grain alcohol
