Monday, July 27, marked the first day that Eastern and Western Conference playoff teams will practice inside their bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton.
To celebrate, the NHL released an intro or opening credits (think Full House’s opener) for The Stanley Cup Qualifiers. One of the stars of the show is Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin.
The Washington Capitals began their Stanley Cup championship title defense on Thursday with a 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game One of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series.
And you guys, they brought their montage videos back from last season.

The Washington Capitals have an opportunity to raise the Stanley Cup for the very first time in team history if they can defeat the Vegas Golden Knights tonight in Game Five.
Beyond the road wins, hot laps, and Alex Ovechkin’s GIF-worthy reactions, there’s been nothing more synonymous with the team’s thrilling playoff run than the team’s powerful intro video that’s aired during home games.
Using a quiet soundtrack that builds to a loud crescendo, the video captures the DC area and the Capitals game experience while using clips of the team’s players and coaches from when they were young and showing how they’ve matured to now.
