It’s over!
The Washington Capitals defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 on Thursday night to clinch their first Stanley Cup ever and Washington’s first title for one of the major four pro teams since 1992. It’s also the first title for Ted Leonsis and Monumental Sports.
Let’s take some time to appreciate some of the parallels between the Capitals’ title run and the Bullets’ title run in 1978.
- Both teams clinched their title on June 7.
- Both teams clinched on the road.
- Both teams had to win a Game 7 on the road during their playoff run.
