‘The Demons have been exorcised!’: A year ago today, Evgeny Kuznetsov eliminated the Penguins from the playoffs

Exactly one year ago today, on May 7, 2018, Evgeny Kuznetsov secured his place in the hearts of Capitals fans and DC sports history when he scored the OTGWG to eliminate the Pittsburgh Penguins, sending the Caps to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 20 years.

As RMNB’s own Peter Hassett said in his recap of the game at the time, “Game over. Series over. Curse over.”

The Capitals, of course, went on to win their first ever Stanley Cup in franchise history a month later. But the second round win against the Penguins remains a highlight of the run, and for good reason.

So, let’s relive that moment and the aftermath in its entirety, together.

DC church adopts Alex Ovechkin’s ‘not going to be suck’ catchphrase

On the first day of training camp before the 2017-18 season, Alex Ovechkin uttered a phrase that would ultimately prove prophetic for the season. Seeking to quell doubts about the quality of the Capitals squad after the loss of several players, Ovechkin told the media, “We’re not going to be suck this year.”

Ovechkin would eventually repeat those words nine months later from the podium at the Capitals Stanley Cup Championship Parade.

Since then, Ovechkin’s catchphrase has spawned t-shirts, a beanie, and even a Jeep. Now, Ovechkin’s “Not Going to Be Suck” catchphrase has been adopted by a local church.
