Devante Smith-Pelly

Dmitry Orlov’s flamethrower entrance was ‘A+’, according to Tom Wilson and Devante Smith-Pelly

The Summer of Stanley has been wild and glorious.

We’ve seen Barry Trotz fire a rifle and ride a horse, Nicklas Backstrom go on a boat ride in the Baltic Sea, Brooks Orpik dish up a massive ice cream sundae, and Alex Ovechkin eat caviar out of the Stanley Cup. We’ve seen parties and Cup stands which damaged the NHL’s championship trophy.

But which Capital had the best Cup celebration? Tom Wilson and Devante Smith-Pelly spoke with Yahoo Sports during Biosteel Camp and and revealed their favs.

The news was first reported by John Matisz of theScore from Toronto, and the full video of Connolly’s quotes are available on TSN.

This awesome Devante Smith-Pelly bobblehead comes with a championship belt. Good luck not buying it.

The day after the Washington Capitals won their first Stanley Cup, the team was gifted a symbolic championship belt via longtime wrestler Triple H.

Once the belt physically arrived at the team’s practice facility, the strap quickly made its way around Devante Smith-Pelly’s waist, where it stayed through the rest of June.

Friday, Sports Fan Island released a new bobblehead of Devante Smith-Pelly, celebrating DSP’s iconic look with the championship belt.

It’s amazing.

There were better offers, but Devante Smith-Pelly wanted to stay in the city that embraced him

Heading into the offseason after winning the first Stanley Cup in franchise history, the Capitals were assured to come back next year with their top-9 intact and, after coming to terms with John Carlson on a massive deal, the possibility of their top-4 on defense still together as well. While the core was secured, many of the question marks in relation to next season were centered around the team’s depth.

Wednesday, one of those questions — would clutch playoff performer Devante Smith-Pelly, who potted seven goals in the postseason despite a pedestrian regular season, get an encore with Washington? — was answered before free-agency began. Smith-Pelly, now a fan-favorite, signed a one-year, $1 million deal to stick around with the Capitals. This was what he wanted all along.
