Ovechkin's reaction to winning the cup still makes me tear up when watching it. I'm not a capitals fan but this man really truly deserved this win. Of course any team who wins the cup obviously deserves it. But for some reason Ovechkin's reaction hit me in all the feels.

I have been a Capitals fan for almost 30 years. I didn't cry when the horn sounded-I just say "Oh My God" on repeat for 1 full minute. All the years of frustration. The Caps were a meme for failure. A crushing loss and knowing you had a full regular season where my heart would be broken yet again! Seeing Ovechkin just let out that primal scream was the catharsis that I felt. It's something that can never be taken away. I could watch this forever.

As a penguins fan this brings tears to my eyes, tears of pure joy, the emotion from Ovechkin is unreal, I hope this guy lifts another before his time in the nhl comes to an end.

I am a Bruins fan but I was jumping with excitement and joy for the capitals , but more importantly, for ovi. He’s been through defeat too many times, always falling to the penguins and never making it past the 2nd round. This year however is different, the tables have turned in the capitals favor. Coming back against the blue jackets, knocking out the penguins in 6 games in ot, shutting out the lightning in game 7, now they have taken the sword and shield from the knights to win the Stanley Cup. This season is probably one of the greatest seasons to ever happen in NHL history. Like Ray Borque when he won the cup with the avalanche on 2001 we are all excited and happy for Alexander Ovechkin as he finally gets the cup and raises it high above him after 13 years in the NHL. It was a difficult journey for Ovi and the capitals but they overcame to finally win the cup. So, in celebration for Alexander Ovechkin.

When this happened I was actually doing my military service which is a obligatory thing for all men in Finland and when the game ended, I felt that all of us Caps fans around the world had just won a war. To this day, it is still the happiest I've ever felt. Been a fan since I was 9 years old and it was over ten years in the making. I know a lot of people had waited much longer but it still felt like an eternity, because Caps always had a team to compete with, but never managed to get past the 2nd round. I have never been so drunk when I finally got to celebrate on the next weekend. Man, wish this could happen again.

5 years later, the Golden Knights would get their hands on the Cup!

The best feel good moment of 2018 in sports. I'm not a capitals fan but seeing ovi finally hoist the cup is one of the biggest satifactions for me.

I got really pissed when i heard that the caps won the cup. But after i saw this video and saw the look on Ovechkin’s face when he lifted the Stanly cup all that anger turned into respect and love. Congratulations Capitals!! You deserved it the most this year❤️

That goes two ways. If there is knockout stage with best of 1 game, i actually think it makes it harder to win. Inexample, Washington Capitals would had been knocked out from their first match against Columbus.

There have been 6 cups that have brought tears to my eyes. 93 I cried tears of sadness when Montreal won the cup. 2001 I cried bittersweet tears when Rob Blake hoisted the cup for the Avalanche. 2002 was the hardest to watch when my favorite player of all time Robitaille hoisted the cup for the team I hate the most in hockey the red wings. Then finally tears of utter joy in 2012 and 2014. And then this one. Ovi and Oshie made this one special.

this is amazing. Not gonna lie i teared up and am a Canucks fan. Congrats Ovie. Capitals fans cherish this beautiful moment i feel so happy for you guys

All Time great moment for our sport

Even though I'm a Habs fan, this is one of the best Stanley Cup celebrations I've seen! Congratulations Alexander the great! I also find it funny that it was two former Habs players (Devante Smith-Pelly and Lars Eller) who scored both the tying goal and winning goal.
