#1 Winning the Stanley Cup
The Washington Capitals finally won the Stanley Cup on June 7, 2018 easily the best day of our lives. They went up against the Vegas Golden Knights and after dropping Game 1 went on to win the next four games. Game 5 against Vegas would be a back and fourth affair with a dominant third period to seal the win.
There was no score in the first period. In the second, Jakub Vrana scored on a breakaway goal at 6:24. The Golden Knights tied it on a goal from Nate Schmidt. The Caps answered at 10:14 with a power play goal from Alex Ovechkin to go back up 2-1.
The Golden Knights responded with two goals to go back up 3-2. They got goals by David Perron at 12:56 and Riley Smith at 19:31. 3-2 would be the score entering the final period.
In the third the Caps tied it with a goal from Devante Smith-Pelly. Brooks Orpik played the puck in the zone and found Smith-Pelly in front of the net. DSP dove to his right and scored to tie the game. At 12:23, off a shot from Brett Connolly, the puck sat behind Marc-Andre Fleury and Lars Eller was there to put it in and give the Caps the win.
