On this night three years ago the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup. It ended 44 years of frustration and heartbreak whether it was in the regular season when the Caps were an expansion franchise that couldn’t reach double digits in wins or playoff heartbreak after playoff heartbreak for fans young and old.

The first period was scoreless but the action really picked up in the second period. Jakub Vrana scored on a breakaway to give the Caps an early 1-0 lead.
