Ovechkin is an amazing example of loyalty to one club. Congratulations from all my heart !!!

and watching somewhere was Karl Alzner, who left the team because he "wanted to win!"

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!

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

Waited my whole life for this.

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

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!

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 was there in Capital One Arena! It was magical! I cried!

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. 😂

At least somebody had a damn clock...

Это был звёздный час Кэпс и Ови. А сегодня он забил 802 гол, обогнав Горди Хоу. Удачи, Саня, в погоне за Великим Гретцки 💪

В который раз смотрю, а дух захватывает аж до слёз....безумно рад за всех...благодарю всех.

We finally are on top of the Hockey world I cried when we won

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!!

Браво, Вашингтон! Не останавливайтесь!

This is going to make me cry for years to come.

still get chills one year later. Caps fan from Vancouver, Canada.

16:55 I'm not crying, you're crying

I still cry every time i see this... thank you for posting. this will never get old.

I wish to be there with you guys. Nobody deserves the cup as you do!!!

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!

If any player ever deserved to win a Stanley Cup its Ovechkin

This will never get old!

Best video yet....this is emotional for our city

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!!!!

I’m a blackhawks fan but seeing the caps win was good.

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!

Bruh I was down there running on the court somewhere this was one of the best days of my life

Это можно смотреть вечно!!!!!

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 don’t care how many years pass but this will always make me emotional ❤️💙 Love my Capitals and they definitely deserved this!!!!

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

Thank you so much for this footage. Crying.

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.

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!!!!

still cry watching it. best moment of my life

Every time I watch, it still brings tears to my eyes!!!!

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.

Come back to this at least once a year and cry my eyes out.

Thanks for posting this Gene, you’re a champ. Mad Caps fan from Down Under who couldn’t be there. This makes it that much better

As a Russian fan of the Capitals (because of Ovi) from Vancouver, I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to experience this epic final. I hope you guys win another SC this year! Good luck!!!

охуенное видео!

I could watch this over and over again!!!! GO CAPS!!!!!! ❤️❤️👍🏻

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 was also in the area and I have to say I got goosebumps watching this and reliving that feeling!!!!

Still come back here to cry

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.

i cry every time I revisit this night

Awesome video, chills!!!

Great Video! Congratulations and enjoy!

Man what a day. Was there on my 21st birthday. Will never forget it

That was gr8 video 2 post 🏆🏆. Love It

After watching night in and night out for almost 10 years with my mom, literally growing up with Ovi, Backy, Greeney, Holtbeast, etc, the best moment of all this, quite honestly, was watching those final tenths run down and just simply turning and embracing my mom... life has brought us different places and we don’t see each other or bond as much as we used to anymore (that’s what happens when you grow up, right?), but the Caps have always brought us together, and this was the dream we longed for together for so long, and god, was the reality even better than the dream...

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

Best video! Спасибо, Thank you!

great video...thank you

I was there! The environment was just outstanding. All the emotion and excitement as the clock ticked down and Ovi finally got to raise the Cup

5 years later, and we'll never forget that night.

I cry. 2021

What a moment for our city...still get goosebumps

What an awesome video

The moment Alex touched the Cup, he knew he wasn’t dreaming.

Great video. That was incredible. I'm a fan of Russia celebrated with you. Must be repeated next season. Let's go Caps

Still can't watch this without getting emotional!!

Это какой-то вулкан счастья!!!

I might personally be repsonsible for 10% of the views of this video

This was the best moment in history

i was outside the arena watching and we were all sobbing when ovi finally hoisted the cup

Back in 2020 to relive this. #allcaps

This is still awesome

This was a good video from inside..I've seen it 100 times at least..

I'm a CBJ fan but that is a lot of people inside Capital One Arena congrats CAPS!!

I don't usually cry for movies or books but I tell you this made me cry

Still gets me emotional

Great times. I’ll never forget. Let’s do it again this year

Pretty good decade overall, the Blues, Kings, and Caps all won the Stanley cup for the first time in their respective histories

Тогда ещё никто не знал что Ови его не будет отдавать месяц никому ))

Great video dude. #ALLCAPS

I was on my 8th grade trip in DC and I'm a devils fan but you know gotta sport the caps

Still can't believe OV and the Caps did it! #ALLCAPS

as a coyotes fan I cannot imagine the joy that comes from winning a stanley cup. The hardest trophy to win in sports!

Только никогда не забывайте!Что Русские парни Вам помогли !!!!!

I was on F and 9th street with my cousin. I'm crying all over again.

8:27 The serious chills start here

Это видео настраивает на любую победу в спорте)))

Omg its been a few years, I know the outcome. I still feel the intensity of those last 2 minutes

hi from russia. great video man. caps #1

As bruins fan living in VA this was an amazing moment when the bruins dont win I always go for local. When the clock ran down people started setting off fireworks.

Who’s here when the Washington capitals celebrate the 4 year anniversary since winning the Stanley CUP. #ALLCAPS

I remember my heart sinking when bäckström missed that opene netter. Felt like that was a sign Vegas would pull through.

The Great show by NHL! His Majesty HOCKEY!!! Congrats Caps!!!!
