Eight years ago today was one of the greatest days in D.C. sports history.
I would argue this is the best Cup raise of all time.
The emotion, disbelief and the primal scream from Alex Ovechkin is something Caps fans will never forget.
I still get goosebumps watching it.

One more chance to thank Ovi 🙌
These eight hockey fans got to meet with @Capitals legend Alex Ovechkin to give thanks for the impact he's had on their lives.
Dylan Strome recalls his first impression of Alexander Ovechkin: “That summer, before the preseason started, I was at the rink getting some work in with the guys. It was great meeting everyone and the staff were amazing to me. But I remember everyone kind of saying under their breath, like, I think he’s coming in today. He might be here today. He should be here soon.
I was just like, Who?
And then Ovi busts in. Huge smile on his face. Looking like the happiest guy on the planet. He walked around the gym and just gave everybody the biggest hug. And, I don’t know man, he’s just bigger than life. He sets the tone. He’s Ovi.
Surreal gets used too much. But that’s the word. I remember being a kid and just being amazed by him. The smoke visor. The yellow wax laces. The jersey flying in the wind. The goal on his back. Kissing the fingers and pointing to the sky. I remember when he scored his 50th of the season in March 2009. My neighbor was actually at that game down in Tampa and she came back a few days later and ran over to our house to tell us about it. She put a stick down on the ground and did his ‘Stick on Fire’ celly. She’s bouncing around, heating her hands on the stick. We were all cracking up.
He was just that guy, right? Bigger than the game, in a way.” https://t.co/ixvWiU7LGu
