#9 Nats night

One of the funniest nights I ever had at a game came when the Capitals decided to honor the 2019 Nationals for winning the World Series. The players on the Nats took in a hockey game and had the night of their life as they got liberated and celebrated their crowning achievement. The night showed that D.C. truly is the District of Champions.

What made the night cool was that the Caps simply returned the favor from the Nats. You may recall the Caps taking in a baseball game just days after they won the Stanley Cup. Ovechkin threw out the first pitch(es) and it was a memorable afternoon before the team took over the city.

The Caps hosted the Calgary Flames that night and most importantly was that they got the 4-2 win. Trailing 1-0, the Caps answered with two goals from Jakub Vrana. After the Flames tied it just before the first period ended. Vrana answered in the second period to complete the hat trick and Lars Eller added a power play goal in the third period for good measure.

Even if the Caps lost this game, the Nats antics before the game and during the second intermission would be enough to make this moment make the cut in our top 10 list. Thankfully they still won this game and made DC Sports fans on top of the world.
