As somebody whos been a diehard fan of the Caps since 1985 and having endured insane multi over time games in the playoffs and repeated heartbreak thinking "this year has to be it" only to be foiled and the Nightmare from hell known as Pittsburgh would haunt us repeatedly beating us 9 out of 10 series until this year (which was our first series victory over them in 1994).. I had a feeling this was going to be different when we overcame Crosby and Company.. Caps were only the second team in history to trail in every round of the playoffs only to come back and win them and win it all.. (The aforementioned Pittsburgh Penguins were the only others to do so over 25 yrs ago). While a fan of Ovi and not saying he wasn't deserving of consideration for the Conn Smythe I thought Kuznetsov #92 was more deserving having been the leading scorer for the Caps and the most points since Evegeni Malkin of Pittsburgh in the playoffs.. Anyway.. Without further adieu, I give you the 2018 Stanley Cup Champion WASHINGTON CAPITALS
