Washington Capitals - Every 2018 Playoffs Goal (Stanley Cup Champions)

[@ohhnoo09]

Backstroms pass through 3 golden knights to ovechkin is still the best play I’ve ever seen. That saucer pass was like a ufo destined for Uranus.

[@fatalwreck9254]

LMAOOOO

[@mobob7989]

What a run! They were in so many bad situations throughout the playoffs down 2-0 against Columbus and down 2-3 against Tampa Bay and they still one. Congrats Caps!

[@lordpuff4815]

Not to mention losing Wilson to a 3 game suspension. Backstrom missing 4 games with his hand swollen like a balloon. Oshie not practicing once all of the first round against CBJ cause he was banged up. Kuz getting hurt against Vegas (he basically missed the rest of the game, but came back the next one). This run was magical.

[@mobob7989]

iNeutroX yeah no doubt

[@VeggieTart]

There was an article in the LA Times about how it would be hard for any team to replicate the heart of the Caps, and the writer was spot-on. This team was utterly resilient.

[@ckendall67]

- That's what stands out about the Caps' Stanley Cup run, they ran into all sorts of adversity with injuries, players missing from the lineup, down 0-2 in the 1st round vs Columbus - & the prospect of being down 0-3 entering double overtime of Game 3 before Eller's goal won it, finally beating their hated nemesis from Pittsburgh in Round 2, losing 3 straight vs Tampa Bay but still coming back to win it in Games 6 & 7, & even the Cup Final vs Vegas, losing Game 1 and then Holtby coming up with THE save late in Game 2, preventing Vegas from tying the game late & forcing OT...and from then on it was...#ALLCAPS :) It was great watching the Caps throughout the playoffs, finally taking home their 1st Stanley Cup. Well deserved!!

[@TPTGopher]

Mohan Dodda Not to mention blowing a 2-0 3rd period lead in Game 1 against Pittsburgh (personally I’ll never think it’s a coincidence that the Nationals swept the Pirates in 4 during the series) iNeutroX That was it for me - when the league office didn’t even try to hide being in the tank for Criesby and they won anyway

[@markbrower7897]

Love how everyone contributed, each line showed up but special shout out to DSP. He was the truth!!

[@marklartargaryen6588]

Lars "The Great Dane" Eller was the unsung hero

[@gougou9113]

Marklar Targaryen Also Smith-Pelly, my goodness.. the biggest goals from almost every game was from him

[@mikemiller7358]

Devante Smith pelly was a monster in the playoffs

[@Howlingburd19]

10:24 Along with actually winning the Cup, this was the best moment of the playoffs!

[@utubehokie181]

Oh man, THANK YOU for making this video. The NHL page made one of every Caps goal in the playoffs, but it's only 1 minute and 30 seconds. WAY too fast to appreciate the goals. THIS is what it should have been.

[@MulliComMedia]

Nice sportsmanship, Letang. Swinging your stick at Ovi after he buried your team late in the game. Glad to see you also got torched on the game 6 OT goal. Helluva defenseman you are.

[@joesnare]

Bobby Mulligan • Letang is garbage.

[@itsMett8]

Chris Letang + Mike Green = Hot Garbage. At least the Caps got smart and let Green go

[@joenobody571]

Letang has more Stanley Cup Rings than Ovechkin oops

[@DallasThompson]

joe nobody and ovechkin has more goals assist points toi and playing time than letang oops

[@DallasThompson]

joe nobody and he has a C on his jersey oops

[@bdonaghu]

14:58 Show this highlight anytime somebody claims Ovi is selfish and only scores goals.

[@alexsofy6227]

Kuzy deserved the Conn Smythe but can't argue with giving it to ovi

[@wesleybranyan8303]

So right

[@puckthefenguins428]

THE most beautiful video. I will save it and keep it all my life, hearing Joe B's voice, joyful...and we finally CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!!! NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding job through the years Joe, you and Locker are the BEST!!!!!!!

[@benjaminblakemitchner8365]

More than true. Fenguins are no good at all Puck them!

[@MrCzveare]

I wish we could hear Joe B's voice throughout the entire playoffs.

[@hockeyguy2005]

Craig Zveare so very true. Me to. But i did get into caps overtime and caps extra with grant Paulsen and smokin Al koken, who is just as much part of the cup win as any of em.

[@hockeyguy2005]

Craig Zveare bitter sweet win for me. Ecstatic they won the cup, depressed because no more hockey till October. Now its nhl network till then.

[@thepuckdropshere4048]

Not even joking I actually met with and was mentored by Joe B and Craig, some of the nicest guys in hockey

[@eduard_kuchynka]

Honestly I don't watch NHL at all, but always been Ovi fan, he is one off a kind. Wished him and the Caps since the days I played NHL 08 on pc. When I hear about them winning the trophy I rewatched all the highlights, what a run! Congrats

[@jakebennett5195]

18:01 what a beautiful play

[@bench8535]

STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

[@benjaminblakemitchner8365]

This may be the happiest I'll ever be. Thank you so much. You brought the sun out in my life again.

[@QuadThreatGaming]

Crazy how Columbus and Tampa were the toughest for us.

[@mikemiller7358]

QuadThreat Gaming your right you would think that Pittsburgh and Tampa would be the toughest because on Tampa Steven stamkos Nikita kucherov victor headman and Pittsburgh has people like Sidney Crosby evgeni malkin and Phil kessel

[@patrykkuffel2679]

Pittsburgh wasn't an easy win for you guys but you pulled it off finally

[@johnhoran4245]

Is it tho? Two great teams

[@CME-4575]

@@johnhoran4245 columbus didnt win round in history at that time and tampa came off a playoff miss the previous year, how times have changed

[@MiLlaDaY187]

Tampa was the 2nd easiest team for us, the toughest were Columbus and Pittsburgh

“We’re not going to be fucking suck this year” -Alex Ovechkin 2018 Stanley Cup Champion.

[@davedundee2350]

15:00, and people say ovie can’t or doesn’t pass. That is one insane backhand flip right on the tape for kuzy flying down the ice

[@locksmithdb5987]

That Stanley Cup final was FAST! it was goal vegas,goal caps back and forth!! I'm a CAPS fan so it was amazing that my team won....vegas was VERY competitive!

[@motorheadbanger90]

GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME DOC SAYS SCORE! STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS BABY! ALL CAPS!

[@DJDevvin]

You mean the CRAPITALS!!!

[@blackjack2770]

I'll say it again as I have watching the entire series. Everyone contributed during games when they needed it. Line 3 and 4. That's never happened in previous runs. They all stepped up. Holtby matured and showed his true skills. Wilson's hit on the penguins player changed the whole pace of the series. Holtbys stick save on Tuck against Vegas changed that whole series. Ovechkins pass to Kuznetsov to win it against the penguins in OT. Kuznetsov was the best thing that could have happened to the capitals. Him and ovechkin have the best chemistry and I wouldn't trade him for the best player in the league... Bc than you take away Ovechkins fire and chemistry that he has with Kuzy.

[@NativeSonDC]

You deserve a little tiny Stanley Cup trophy for making this video. Thanks!

[@patjcoan]

I love watching the goals from the CBJ series they all look like different people before the beards got massive

[@Burt_Sampson]

Washington’s cameras are next level compared to the others stadiums lol

[@Allfath3r]

I've watched this 5 or 6 times since you first posted it. Never gets old.

[@jakemisch8650]

I’m at 150 6 years later

[@robertmason7553]

As a Caps fan, Proud of those men, but the have to keep Backstrom, Ovie, Wilson, and the most important part Kuzzy as their core. You put hockey players around them and they will flourish. I think Kuzzy is our most important part with the new talent, the two new Alexes and the younger players.Kuzzy is key to our future success and he's the player I watch. Not Ovie's replacement but you gotta watch him play because he's just as deadly.

[@dodger7111]

2:15 the goal that saved the Caps. If CBJ wins that game the Caps would have been done in the 1st round

[@kenarthur6253]

I could watch this video of the Caps finally winning the Cup 1,000,000 times and still enjoy it!! So many years of bitter disappointment banished in 2018!!!

[@imusic247]

Thanks for posting! Captures each goal perfectly... and, perfect proof against a die-hard Pens fan that keeps telling me that Caps only won the round because of bad, untimely goals... lol

[@DirkMade]

I could watch this on a loop ALL DAY

[@jimmyp410]

There have been few greater times of my life than those couple of months.

[@RodCalidge]

Best playoffs for Hockey fans in years. And it was won with a TEAM effort. That's something to be proud of.

[@jakebennett5195]

this vid will blow up soon

[@SebastianSculpts]

Watching this in 2022 to make myself feel better

[@jellikit1939]

DSP scored some of my favorite goals in caps history on this run. That last one I’d put before many iconic Ovi goals. Dude was so clutch!!

[@yones_wav]

Still love that Oshie reverse check.

[@jackodum783]

inject Kuzy’s game 6 winner straight into my veins

[@jeremyfalkner9223]

best video ever

[@brianwymer7812]

all those years of disappointment and frustration have finally been extinguished, thank you STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS for finally bringing the Cup to the DC DMV area

[@jakebennett5195]

thank you for this

[@catchilupi]

I was at Game 5 in Vegas to see the Cup get lifted!!!

[@jaggerhaas9137]

Woulda loved to see Vegas win it all, but I'm glad Ovi finally got his Cup. One of the GOATs, so happy for him

[@trisgilmour]

This never gets old!

[@WaRDc85]

Awesome video. Thanks!

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Kuznetsov was on another level all playoffs wish he could recapture that

[@DJDevvin]

You mean Kuznutsov!!! I hate it when he does the eagle!!!

[@bonelessman1]

18:04 is one of the best plays I’ve seen this team EVER do. Just crisp movement with the puck to bury it in the net fooled the Flower right there 😏

[@jimcrowflag4457]

The Capitals had the scariest Power Play in the Playoffs with those 3 one time choices from The Great 8 , Carlson from the point and T.J Oshie in the slot . Just wow so Happy for Ovi and his Capitals .

[@ianwandell2316]

Kuzy and Ovi worked like fucking magic in the playoffs

[@DJDevvin]

You mean Kuznutsov!!! I hate it when he does the eagle!!!

[@calvinannulis524]

Watching this to cheer me up after this and last year’s playoff runs.

[@drw4ever57]

As a wings fan i wanna say karma, tampon bay fans made it to the finals the last two years but couldn’t finishing and win it all but they tried to go up against a team that was hungrier and far and away more deserving and that team did it, after they got past the pens my first thought was, no body is stopping this team, it’s their year

[@Capshockey1234]

Great video

[@therealxenith3237]

Kuznetsov is underrated. Like if you agree (12 goals in playoffs 2018)

[@DJDevvin]

You mean Kuznutsov!!! I hate it when he does the eagle!!!

[@alp2va]

This really makes you see how clutch DSP was! I hope they re-sign him!

[@С.А.Л]

Great playoff for Washington; Smith-Pelley had a bunch of clutch goals!

[@brandonanderson7887]

С.А. Л. Devante Clutch-Pelly!

[@cameronerwin6172]

I'm guessing the scouting report on Matt Murray was high glove and five hole

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

It's always a pleasure to watch this video. Brings back such good memories. Fast forward through the next five seasons and you have one big shit show and a team that failed miserably in remaining competitive. Now we have two more seasons for Ovie to hit the record while the team falls deeper into the black hole.

[@jeffcaras9967]

you are a hero

[@ericbonsell6536]

Not sure I've been sober since they won game 5 of the finals. Haha

[@AlexK878]

DSP was clutch as fuck

[@maxd8410]

I'm not a Capitals fan, but they had some great games against Columbus and I wanted them to beat Pittsburgh so bad. I'm so glad they won and can't wait to keep watching them next year

[@johnhoran4245]

Thank you for this!!

[@andreysong]

ty!

[@richrob81]

Awesome video thanks for the trip down memory lane. Would've loved to see more replays of goals in all series like you did for the Vegas series. But awesome job!

[@epochwyd4233]

The capitals had an amazing journey! I enjoyed the vid lol

[@steelerfan4life5]

Going back and watching the pens series with the goals played in succession like this, it’s crazy how much the book was really out on Matt Murray. Shoot high glove at all costs, until he proves he can stop it, which he couldn’t.

[@highquality86]

Columbus were so good... Hardest serie

[@LudMikey]

Евгений Ф TBL was really tough too, tbh all of them were really good series

[@DJDevvin]

Too bad they blew a 2-0 series lead.

[@jonathanjuillerat2115]

When you hear that cowbell after all of the Caps goals in the Game 4 victory against Columbus I want everyone to know that that is my wife annoying every Blue Jackets fan within 200 feet of us in the rafters. Great memories. What a run. Glad we were there for an important piece of it!

[@ryanrutar9448]

Holy shit I miss Doc...

[@fatalwreck9254]

Wow, never realized that Kuznetzov scored the first and last goal of the series vs. the Penguins. I wonder if such a thing has ever happened before in playoff history.

[@leyroy1980]

My type of 4 play!

[@B2Roland]

Dude, the Knights had SO MANY bad plays in their own zone. I don't know if it was just the Caps being so creative with their passes or the moment getting to Vegas or what, but jesus did they look bad when they were in the Defensive zone.

Is it just me or its one of finest cup runs ever

It was a battle royale. Down 2 at home in the first round...win in OT on the road in 2nd...go to 7 in the 3rd...epic.

[@averagejosh6699]

As a fan of a division rival (the Islanders), I can safely say that the Caps (and then the Nats, which annoyed me too because I’m a Mets fan) deserved their win.

[@pathindsley]

Matt Murray never recovered from how badly the Caps exposed high glove side on him.

[@annieschaber6005]

Do all playoff overtime goals next
