In their 44 years of existence the Washington Caps won their first Stanley Cup title against the most successful first year team, the Vegas Golden Knights. Kudos to the Hoya owner Ted Leonsis.
If Las Vegas won the title what would they have done for an encore???

Even Bryce Harper tweeted his congrats to the Caps even tho they beat his hometown team. He was wearing a Golden Knights jersey in a Cap One Arena suite at game 4.

Remarkable run by what I have to assume was by far the most successful first-year expansion team in any sport.
But I am happy to see the Caps finally get the monkey off their back. It wasn't only that they had never won the Cup, but that they had regularly underperformed in the playoffs.

Gives me hope that we can finally get our tournament flame out monkey off our backs as well. |
