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.

Haha, love Trotz at the end of that clip:

"There's no practice tomorrow, cause there's no one left to f'n beat, boys!"

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.



Home made Cup - perfect for beverages


Baby with the Cup


National Archives stairs


Ovechkin for President


Guy would not stand still for the pano shot


Other DC team reps


Oshie and other Caps


Turnout larger than the Trump inauguration?

From those photos, we must have been standing maybe 10 feet from each other!

"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."

The Onion has put out some great stuff on Ovi lately. This is my favourite:

Ovechkin Hopes To Inspire Other Athletes To Power Through Month-Long Bender

Quote:
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
