| 0:21.6 | As Alex Chuck was robbed, the Washington Capitals by the 2018 Stanley Cup champions! |
| 0:34.6 | For a lot of DC sports fans, they will tell you that the night of June 7, 2018 was the |
| 0:40.3 | greatest night of their lives. They'll couch it by saying other than the night I got married |
| 0:45.3 | when my kids were born. But as far as sports goes, it was the greatest night of their lives. |
| 0:50.3 | It was the night the Capitals finally won a Stanley Cup and brought a championship back |
| 0:54.2 | here to the district. |

| 1:49.0 | mind go there, but I was just literally like, huh, okay, Vegas probably wins tonight. And just, I'll |
