If you thought this tradition was dead after the Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018, it’s not.

Sunday, after the Penguins beat the Capitals 4-3 at Capital One Arena, Pens fans walked across the street and stormed the steps of the National Portrait Gallery.

The mob’s chants included “Let’s Go Pens!”, “We Have 5 Cups”, and “This Is Our House.”

[Does best sarcasm voice] Now, this is how you expertly celebrate an early February regular-season victory. [rolls eyes]

Meanwhile, the Penguins’ Twitter account retweeted this video.

Now excuse me while I harken back to May and June 2018 while rocking my Reclaimed The Steps RMNB t-shirt.

Yup, I’m good again.
