Happy Sunday, and happy one-year anniversary to when a drunken group of Capitals conquered DC. Just a few of the highlights below...

This is the best interview of 2018.@masnKolko asks Ovi what it's like to be in front of this many D.C. sports fans after winning the Stanley Cup.

After one drinks headfirst from the Cup, there’s only one thing left to do - go for a swim:
It's been hours since the Caps swam in the fountain, but this angle is new to me. And amazing. Because they're all amazing. (via @jgboy13) pic.twitter.com/1SicLw6jaS

Time to split up - half to Georgetown for pizza and tattoos...

Of course, the festivities didn’t end there or for many days after, but it was on that Saturday that a jubilant Washington, DC area embraced this hockey team... and they embraced the city right back.
And no one died.
What a moment.
