Notes:

The Washington Capitals hockey team are now Stanley Cup Champions for the first time ever in franchise history! Ovi celebrated by taking the cup everywhere he went. We mark the momentous occasion by playing some hockey ballads.

FUN FACT: The Washington Capitals first attempt at Stanley Cup glory was back in 1998 against the Detroit Red Wings. Unfortunately, the Caps were unable to seal a single win in the finals.
