MJ /OVI all day. Thats how it starts.U overcome ur beast in Penguins/aka Detroit "Bad Boys" and it could be on. I love players that stick to their club. MJ, Kobe, Dwayne, Ovi etc. I am mixing up sports but the point is the same.
@@vandamme7084 if you from DC, he's overtaken Darrel Green as "Mr. DC". Green played all 23 seasons for the Washington "Redskins". Won 3 Super Bowls. Never left until retired.
What a quitter. But you gotta feel for Nate Schmidt. Imagine being that guy. You've played with the Caps for years, and never won the Stanley Cup. You get drafted to the Golden Knights, and go all the way to the Stanley Cup final. And you lose. TO THE CAPS.
This still gives me goosebumps. I've been addicted to Caps hockey since my first game when I was 7 years old in 1989 against the Jets. One of the happiest moments of my life!
I was 9 in 1989. At 15 I was going through the channels on my TV and saw a Sharks/Kings game on ESPN. I asked my parents if I could see a hockey game, and they took me to the Caps. In 1997 we got season tickets (back when you could afford them). Have been watching ever since, and with 2 parents who have failing health recently, I was in tears knowing they got to see them win, after all these years.
Me and my friend are Jersey born Devils fans we watched game 5 on tv in our Devils jerseys with chicken wings cheering for the Caps because we wanted to see Ovechkin earn one we are so happy for him look at that smile
@@Hockeyhobo89 - I can, though. (I live in the DC area, and have been a Caps fan my whole life. was at home watching the entire playoff run on my phone because I was - and still am - recovering from cancer.)
Habs fan here but never cheered so hard for another team in my life to win! Seeing Ovechkin win a cup was needed in his career and i am so proud that he won it! My brother is a caps fan and it was awesome to see how happy he was!
watching this on january 8th and i still cry like a baby.... im 27 and thought id never see any of my teams win a championship.... we finally did it DC
I'm a Blues fan and when I watched the Caps win the cup, I cried too. It's the only tears I've ever shed for a champ winning team that wasn't from my hometown. We still love Oshie and so many people here in STL were rooting for the Caps because of Oshie and the fact that Washington is always ridiculed like The Blues and both fanbases have been tortured for decades. When watching The Caps win I remember looking to the sky and saying out loud "For fuck sake! The Caps did it. When will The Blues do it?" Well I didn't have to wait long for that answer. Cheers to our teams finally shedding their legacy of failure. Back to back years to boot. Go Caps Go and Let's Go Blues!
I got chills when everybody was singing “We Are the Champions” Caps you truly deserve to be named Stanley Cup Champions and i hope one day my Sharks can do the same
I definitely lost it at that moment. So glad someone was able to capture this and post it - I was too in the moment to pull out my phone inside the arena
@@bruinsfan32 You weren't the only one. And DubNation As I was there you have no idea how deep the chills were at that moment. All the way to the Metro ride home which felt less like the Metro and more like a party bus. It was epic!
Gosh this was an amazing night for Caps fans! We were on the edge of our seats in my home, watching the clock and praying to the Hockey Gods for us to keep playing until the last second. Seeing Ovi and the Caps hoist the Cup was one of the greatest things I’ve seen. So thankful I have this memory with my children and family. 😂
Even tho I am a Sharks fan, I was so happy to see the Caps win the Cup! As well I went to DC for a school trip for a week! Every student in my class was shocked! Congrats Caps! To my Favorite East Team!
SJSharkMaster Sharks are just CapsWest man. And y’all always kicked our ass the few times we did play. What’s funny, is I think this was the first year we actually beat y’all once.
God dammit, this is making me choked up and teary-eyed. Seeing Ovi’s emotion throughout these playoffs epitomized all of us caps fans. Who knows where I would’ve been had my family not have gone to that caps-flyers game back in 2008 as a youngin’, met Ovi, Mike Green and Jose Theodore? Probably a ducks fan? Sheesh. I’ll pass. I’m rocking the red when I get buried and having “WE’RE NOT GOING TO BE FUCKING SUCK THIS YEAR” on my tombstone! ALL CAPS, ALL OURS!!!!
Interesting. The game should've been over when the Vegas clock hit 2.3 seconds at 4:09 of the video. (This assumes the Capital One Arena clock was counting down accurately, and that it was initially synced with the Vegas clock when play resumed with 1m 49s left in the game.) That would've been perfect timing, as that's clearly before the Vegas player could reach the puck while everyone was celebrating. After it reset, the Vegas clock was running 2.3 seconds slower than the Capital One Arena (COA) clock. At 1:19, the COA clock shows 30 as the Vegas clock shows 32.3. At 1:09, the COA clock shows 40 as the Vegas clock shows 42.3. The COA clock did run off too much time when the icing was called at 1:22 of the video. Thus, that's why it ended up 3 seconds ahead (an extra 0.7 ahead) of the Vegas clock at that stoppage. I was so pissed when Backstrom couldn't seal the Cup at 0:53 of the video. (I understand Backstrom had 2 fractures in his right index finger, and thank god the miss didn't matter.) Anyway, at the beginning of that sequence, you'll notice Backstrom takes control of the puck and is just behind the "Stanley Cup Final" logo when the COA clock hits 59.9 seconds. But the Vegas clock didn't reset and hit 59.9 until Backstrom was within 10 feet of the center line. (Unfortunately, the Vegas clock isn't visible for that play in this video, but the Vegas clock can be seen for that play on other videos, such as "Clock confusion delays Stanley Cup presentation for Capitals" by SPORTSNET.) I timed the difference between when Backstrom was near the logo vs near the center line, and sure enough it's about a 2.3 second difference.
From an LA Kings/Toronto Maple Leafs fan...BIG CONGRATULATIONS! Caps finally deserve their Cup! And thank you from the bottom of my heard for beating those Vegas bastards who got all the calls and all the breaks until the very end and saving the NHL for the rest of us real fans!!!!
For us at home, when the clock froze, I was screaming without knowing how much time is left. I'm glad COA had their own timer running so you knew...lol
This video brings true tears of joy to my face, I cannot express how happy I was for all of Caps nation when they caps won the cup. They so deserved it, after such a long time
I remember being there that night, and thought I was going to have a heart attack afterwards. Truly a life moment for me. And now one year later I'm watching it again and reliving greatness!
thank u for posting this because it's like the only way I can rewatch Backstrom missing that empty netter! lol that was so stressful but great finish. I was outside the DC arena at watch party
Still getting chills watching this. It was like I was back in my living room with family and friends jumping up and down and celebrating all over again.
Ovechkin is an amazing example of loyalty to one club. Congratulations from all my heart !!!
Staphylococcus Aureus like tim duncano
MJ /OVI all day. Thats how it starts.U overcome ur beast in Penguins/aka Detroit "Bad Boys" and it could be on. I love players that stick to their club. MJ, Kobe, Dwayne, Ovi etc. I am mixing up sports but the point is the same.
@@vandamme7084 right, man 👍
He also incredibly loyal to money..
@@vandamme7084 if you from DC, he's overtaken Darrel Green as "Mr. DC". Green played all 23 seasons for the Washington "Redskins". Won 3 Super Bowls. Never left until retired.
and watching somewhere was Karl Alzner, who left the team because he "wanted to win!"
that guy was dead weight, thank god montreal took his 5 mil contract
What a quitter.
But you gotta feel for Nate Schmidt. Imagine being that guy. You've played with the Caps for years, and never won the Stanley Cup. You get drafted to the Golden Knights, and go all the way to the Stanley Cup final. And you lose. TO THE CAPS.
you could say the same for former GM George McPhee
Can't feel too much for Schmidt after he took those PEDs.
I thought he left because he wanted to be on waiver... oh wait
This still gives me goosebumps. I've been addicted to Caps hockey since my first game when I was 7 years old in 1989 against the Jets. One of the happiest moments of my life!
Michael Brush The caps are my second Favorite team next to the Jets and you guys have Avenged them from the knights #ALLCAPS Congratulations Capitals

I am not a caps fan and I still get goosebumps just for ovi

much respect bro good luck this season
Hey man! Devil's get first pick!
Спасибо бро за теплые слова!) Мир,дружба,жевачка!)
no wonder I like the devils, comments like this I love
Waited my whole life for this.

Same here
At least somebody had a damn clock...

охуенное видео!
Два года прошло , а оно всегда будет таким
@@Alexxx_A replaying this nonstop while on lockdown for COVID19 :)
Это был звёздный час Кэпс и Ови. А сегодня он забил 802 гол, обогнав Горди Хоу. Удачи, Саня, в погоне за Великим Гретцки 💪
Вот ещё и трёшка Монреалю))
Один момент не понимаю..... почему кубку не всей командой радуются) потом по очереди катайтесь с ним сколько влезет)
А сегодня он забил 810 гол и 17 сезон подряд с 30 шайбами
Ждём полтос
watching this on january 8th and i still cry like a baby.... im 27 and thought id never see any of my teams win a championship.... we finally did it DC
We finally are on top of the Hockey world I cried when we won
David Buchanan i cried because we lost😞
I cried because Ovi won the cup. Lets go Devils
You aren't the only one. I think I had a panic attack that night...but a damn good one!
Nick Beast i cried because i was so happy and couldnt believe it

I was there in Capital One Arena! It was magical! I cried!
The reason the Mystics court was there, was they fact they had to move the game to 6pm to accomodate the watch party.
Have to admit, I was a little misty eyed as well, and I’m a Habs fan. How can you not love Ovi??
Браво, Вашингтон! Не останавливайтесь!
16:55 I'm not crying, you're crying
I don’t line him so it was you
That's funny right there
If any player ever deserved to win a Stanley Cup its Ovechkin
Who’s here when the Washington capitals celebrate the 4 year anniversary since winning the Stanley CUP. #ALLCAPS
I got chills when everybody was singing “We Are the Champions” Caps you truly deserve to be named Stanley Cup Champions and i hope one day my Sharks can do the same

And now the Kings, Sharks, And Jets can rest well knowing the Knights lost in the final!!!! Well played Caps!! #ALLCAPS
Toxic and canucks

Тогда ещё никто не знал что Ови его не будет отдавать месяц никому ))
Best video yet....this is emotional for our city
Это можно смотреть вечно!!!!!
Been a fan since 1974. One year on, this STILL feels good!
I was at the game in Vegas that night! What a thrill of a lifetime! After watching this video, this is the second place I would have been! Awesome!!

The moment Alex touched the Cup, he knew he wasn’t dreaming.
Great video dude. #ALLCAPS
This will never get old!
Come back to this at least once a year and cry my eyes out.
Same here - clearly 2024, still check in, and still shed tears!
That was gr8 video 2 post 🏆🏆. Love It
From an LA Kings/Toronto Maple Leafs fan...BIG CONGRATULATIONS! Caps finally deserve their Cup! And thank you from the bottom of my heard for beating those Vegas bastards who got all the calls and all the breaks until the very end and saving the NHL for the rest of us real fans!!!!
Heart I mean...the NHL would have been destroyed if those expansion cheaters had won.
@@flyingdutchman8321Now they are the reigning champions. Ha ha.
I cry. 2021
I don’t care how many years pass but this will always make me emotional ❤️💙 Love my Capitals and they definitely deserved this!!!!
For us at home, when the clock froze, I was screaming without knowing how much time is left. I'm glad COA had their own timer running so you knew...lol
hi from russia. great video man. caps #1
still get chills one year later. Caps fan from Vancouver, Canada.
Omg its been a few years, I know the outcome. I still feel the intensity of those last 2 minutes
Still can't believe OV and the Caps did it! #ALLCAPS
Это какой-то вулкан счастья!!!
Great video. That was incredible. I'm a fan of Russia celebrated with you. Must be repeated next season. Let's go Caps
Bruh I was down there running on the court somewhere this was one of the best days of my life
Все таки в Америке умеют шоу делать, Классно Овечкин супер!!!
Still come back here to cry
5 years later, and we'll never forget that night.
still cry watching it. best moment of my life
i was outside the arena watching and we were all sobbing when ovi finally hoisted the cup
"Capital" one Arena, how ironic
Yeah but the Capitals Won!!!
Coyotes fan who will never win a Cup and supporting a team whose own city doesn't want them. How ironic.
👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💣 congrats Cap's
This video brings true tears of joy to my face, I cannot express how happy I was for all of Caps nation when they caps won the cup. They so deserved it, after such a long time
Every time I watch, it still brings tears to my eyes!!!!
I remember being there that night, and thought I was going to have a heart attack afterwards. Truly a life moment for me.
And now one year later I'm watching it again and reliving greatness!
What an awesome video
great video...thank you
This was the best moment in history
I'm a CBJ fan but that is a lot of people inside Capital One Arena congrats CAPS!!
ALEKS U AR THE BEST..❤
What section were you in when you shot this? I was in 201. Based on the layout of the Mystics court it looks like you were close to me.
Back in 2020 to relive this. #allcaps
Thank you so much for this footage. Crying.
This was one of the reasons 2018 was the best year of my life. I've been a fan of the Capitals for years, and never thought they would win the cup.
8:27 The serious chills start here
Это видео настраивает на любую победу в спорте)))
thank u for posting this because it's like the only way I can rewatch Backstrom missing that empty netter! lol that was so stressful but great finish. I was outside the DC arena at watch party
I remember my heart sinking when bäckström missed that opene netter. Felt like that was a sign Vegas would pull through.
бары в ту ночь тоже были в выйгрыше наверно )))
I could watch this over and over again!!!! GO CAPS!!!!!! ❤️❤️👍🏻
Still getting chills watching this. It was like I was back in my living room with family and friends jumping up and down and celebrating all over again.
Awesome video, chills!!!
The following year, the nation's capital would be complete. Washington returned to the World Series following 94 AND 95 years.
Man what a day. Was there on my 21st birthday. Will never forget it
Love ❤️
How big was the crowd at the watch party?
I feel selfish for wanting them to throw the game just to win it in DC. 😂😂
Why didn't they sound the goal horn or shoot confetti??? C'mon Washington
The horn does go off starting at 4:58.
What a moment for our city...still get goosebumps
I was there
In the actual stadium where they played the crowed was 10000x times louder big W
Best video! Спасибо, Thank you!
2018-2019 The year owned by DC Sports except for the other two never forget lol
watcherd with mh 70 year old dad, WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Who’s here after we lost game 7?
i hope i never attend a game where somebody is constantly yelling 'clear it' when the team doesn't have the fucking puck
Молодцы!
Still can't watch this without getting emotional!!
man, i hope I can do something like this with either Buffalo or San Jose :/
i cry every time I revisit this night
На баскетбольной площадке смотреть хоккей?
I don't usually cry for movies or books but I tell you this made me cry
Was there a Wizards playoff game going on?
