It was a few minutes after midnight Friday morning as Andrew Davis stood at an outdoor table at the Penn Quarter Sports Tavern on Indiana Avenue in northwest Washington, which was filled inside and out.
He was a few blocks south of Capital One Arena, where he had been on hand for the watch party that nearly filled the arena to watch the Capitals beat host Las Vegas 4-3 to win the first title in franchise history.
Davis said he has been going to about 10 games a year for the past few seasons but was not able to attend as much this year since he became a father.
