The Alex Ovechkin Stanley Cup tracker
Ovi took the Stanley Cup on a Vegas party tour. Follow along as Washington’s captain takes Lord Stanley on a journey.
The Washington Capitals had the D.C. area rocking on Thursday night, after winning the first Stanley Cup in franchise history. But the Capitals’ fans, who waited years for this moment, weren’t as lit as their captain, Alexander Ovechkin. The Conn Smythe winner was turning up in Vegas with the Cup by his side the whole time.
Ovi’s Stanley Cup tour started on the ice.
