The Washington Capitals are just beginning to celebrate their 2017-18 Stanley Cup winning season. After several years of playoff runs that were cut way too short, Alex Ovechkin and company finally have reached the promised land.
The Capitals are hardly the only folks happy winning the title. In fact, almost the entire D.C. area is ecstatic about the win, because the 2017-18 Stanley Cup is Washington’s first Big-Four (NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB) league championship since 1992.
The Wizards, like the Capitals, play in the Capital One Arena and share the same ownership. Players and other figures in the Wizards organization were quick to give their congratulations. Here they are below. We’ll keep updating this as we see more.
STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS.
