Jakub Jerabek

Where are they now? The Washington Capitals’ 2018 Stanley Cup championship team.

The Washington Capitals defeated the Vegas Golden Knights four games to one to win the Stanley Cup four years ago this week.

Since then, the Capitals have not won a playoff series since, getting first-rounded four consecutive times. While the Caps’ core and identity have largely stayed the same, the 2018 team’s supporting cast has moved on. Only nine of those 27 players are still on the team while two others, Shane Gersich and Pheonix Copley, remain in the organization.

Some key members of the 2018 championship team have flourished elsewhere. Others have wound down their careers or retired in different organizations or leagues.

Fresh off the franchise’s first Stanley Cup and and a day after a Championship Parade, the Capitals cleaned out their lockers and met with the media one final time before heading home for the summer.

Instead of talking about what went wrong, Capitals players talked about everything that went right and realizing a dream they had as a kid.

Gone were depressing images. This year, the Caps had ALL the smiles.

Don’t believe us? Check out these photos I took below.

Photos from Saturday’s Stanley Cup Final Capitals practice

Before the Capitals won their first ever Stanley Cup Final game on home ice, the team took a skate at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.

With a full house packed with fans, the Capitals looked loose and were having maybe the most fun they have had all season. The looseness might have gone the wrong way, when a Dmitry Orlov snapshot deflected up into the Capitals office windows. No one was hurt by the falling glass, but I am sure the window has been better days.

Cursed Jakub Jerabek gets credited with first Capitals goal days later

On Saturday, it appeared that Jakub Jerabek had scored his first goal as a Capital against his former team, the Montreal Canadiens. The Czech defenseman aimed a wrist shot on Carey Price from just outside the faceoff circle, which snuck in over Price’s catching glove.

After reviewing the goal, the NHL later determined that TJ Oshie had tipped in Jerabek’s shot. They gave Oshie credit for the tally, though he insisted he hadn’t got a piece of it in his post-game interview. “I kind of thought it was Jerry’s,” TJ Oshie said to the media. “I haven’t seen the video, but I was trying to jump and get out of the way.”

With two further days of deliberation, the NHL concurred with that assessment.

Capitals acquire defenseman Jakub Jerabek from Montreal Canadiens for fifth-round pick

The Washington Capitals have just acquired another bargain bin Czech defensemen. Earlier in the week, the Caps landed strong-skating Michal Kempny from the Chicago Blackhawks. Wednesday, the team announced that they acquired puck-moving Jakub Jerabek from the Montreal Canadiens for a 2019 fifth-round pick.

The 26-year-old defenseman has recorded four points (1g, 3a) in only 25 games for the Habs this season. Jerabek has been a positive possession player (50.5 shot attempt percentage) for one of the worst teams in the East (-37 goal differential).
