After the Capitals' tour de force through their hockey season and Stanley Cup Final, the guys are taking the cup on a victory lap of epic proportions.
The cup got a big night out to celebrate in Las Vegas, where the team clinched the series in a thrilling Game 5. Then, the team finally gave fans what they've wanted for decades: They brought the Stanley Cup home.
Here's a glimpse of the journey the cup has taken with the Caps guys:
After leaving the ice, the Caps guys paraded the Stanley Cup through the MGM Grand Hotel in Las vegas.

The Cup got some much-needed relaxation time by the pool in Vegas.

The Capitals toured the cup in style, with plenty of celebratory champagne and beer.
I can’t remember any player that has been more genuinely excited after winning the #StanleyCup than Alex Ovechkin.
