The Washington DC area has never been more in love with hockey. Don’t believe me? Check out the crowd that congregated outside Capital One Arena for the Game Five watch party.
There were Caps fans as far as the eye could see. When Jakub Vrana scored, the crowd erupted in loud cheers.

Inside the building, Caps fans watched on the jumbotron and that crowd was also massive. Free tickets for the event sold out within minutes.
