The Washington Capitals are just one win away from the Stanley Cup. Throughout this playoff run, the team has experienced many ups and downs, disappointment and triumph, moments that have been shocking and sometimes plain weird.
The same can be said of the transit system that gets many of the teams’ fans to its games.
Due to budget restrictions that limit its hours of operation, the Washington, D.C. Metro has a history of forcing fans of each major D.C. sports team to leave games early so they can catch the last ride. These Stanley Cup playoffs have been no different.
