Capitals fans chant ‘One More Game,’ light Terrible Towel on fire during Portrait Gallery steps celebration

The Washington Capitals are one win away from vanquishing the Penguins and advancing to the third round for the first time in Alex Ovechkin’s legendary career.

To celebrate Saturday’s Game Five win, Caps fans took a page from visiting Penguins fans’ book. They gathered on the steps of the National Portrait Gallery and chanted Let’s Go Caps and One More Game. They even burned a Terrible Towel.

As the crowd first took to the steps, they chanted something fun, but untrue about Sidney Crosby.

#ALLCAPS Take back the gallery steps #nationalportraitgallery

There was a powerful and emphatic One More Game chant.

Caps In Six!

And fans screamed Let’s Go Caps as cars honked on their way by.

One fan also lit a Terrible Towel on fire, which is dangerous and I do not ever recommend doing this.

What a night.

The #caps won!
