As he held a public event, the stage Grubauer stood on was decorated with all his former jerseys. The red Capitals home jersey hung in the middle.
“I am pleased that so many are there. I don’t know what to say,” Grubauer said as he brought the Cup on the stage, as reported by Michael Bauer of Eishockey NEWS.
