Golden Knights (P1) vs. Capitals (M1)

Ovechkin hoisting the cup was nice.  It can finally shit up some of the ?but no cup? idiots who aren?t willing to acknowledge that he is arguably the best goal scorer of all time.

Vegas fans booing Bettman is just...well, it's a stupid world full of stupid people.

I thought they at least booed less than other times might of. So Maybe it was the visiting Caps' fans? Otherwise, I agree. Stupid is as stupid does.
 
Congratulations to the Washington Capitals on being crowned Stanley Cup Champions!!

And especially to Ovie who finally joins elite company in winning Lord Stanley's silver chalice.  Plus, being named Conn Smythe Trophy winner as MVP.
Ovechkin ties Sidney Crosby for most post-season goals (15) scored in the past two decades.

Accolades to the Vegas Golden Knights for a captivating and historical season for a first year expansion franchise. 

The way the city of Las Vegas embraced their only professional sports team was indeed Golden.
Golden Knights paid tribute to their sipporters:

I was watching the post game festivities and something got in my eye when Oshie was speaking!!!  Ovie has been great for the game for a long time and it was very nice to watch that man child hoist the Cup!!!! How anyone wouldn't enjoy his enthusiasm is beyond me.
 
Waiting for Ovie to go over and hoist the Cup was the most anticipated and excited I've ever been in seeing an opposing player lift it over his head.  You could just feel both the relief and joy he was experiencing. 

Now the whole notion Ovie can't lead you to a Cup can be put to bed.  And since having a Cup on your resume supposedly makes you a better player, it should shoot him up in the greatest players of all-time list.   

And thankfully this Vegas joke can be put to bed.  Good riddance.  Washington made them look ordinary, and makes you wonder how the three teams before them got run over by the Golden Knights.
 
Happy to see former Leafs great Olaf Kolzig lift the Cup:

Especially after all the years of disappointment for him it was so well deserved.  Quite the contrast to the Vegas fanbase who experienced immediate success and why so many other long suffering fanbases didn't want Vegas to win.  Really happy for Ovechkin and those diehard fans in Washington who have been on board since the 70s and had to experience all those playoff failures...double OT, triple OT...the list goes on.
 
A parade of champions alright!

Capitals coach Barry Trotz:
"We've got Americans, we've got Canadians, we've got Swedes, we've got Danes," he said. "We got Russians, we got Czechs, we got Australians. We've got rookies. We got veterans. We got great people. It sounds just like D.C. and the community of D.C."

Weird... I was told by an expert in lip-reading that Trotz was done in Washington.

It's sad that even Elliotte Friedman has become unbearable to listen to.

I still for the life of me don't understand what he was thinking with that one.
