The names of the @Capitals are on the #StanleyCup. Planes, trains and automobiles to make it happen!
Train from silversmith to Toronto, flight from Toronto to Washington, vehicle from airport to ceremony…
Stay tuned! @HockeyHallFame @NHL pic.twitter.com/G9NpF0tA8q— Philip Pritchard (@keeperofthecup) October 1, 2018
The teams that will be removed from the Cup to make room for the Caps include the 1953-54 Detroit Red Wings and extending to the 1964-65 Montreal Canadiens.
