Keeper of the Cup Philip Pritchard brought in the New Year by taking a final look back at 2018.
On Twitter, Pritchard shared two (to the best of my knowledge) never-before-seen photos of the Caps together in the Capital One Arena locker room posing with the Stanley Cup.
The Washington Capitals’ private party Monday night was a historic affair. The team got to see their engravings on the Stanley Cup for the first time. They also received their stunning championship rings.
At the end of the night, the players took a photo with the Stanley Cup and it’s fantastic.
The Washington Capitals broke with tradition and hosted their team photo at Capital One Arena this year. Afterwards, they held practice in an empty arena.
Here are some photos from their skate.

Thursday morning, the Capitals took their annual team photo at Capital One Arena.
Smushed in like sardines on benches and platforms, the players, wearing their full pads and equipment, awkwardly tried to maintain balance. During a break in smiling action, Lars Eller took a wrong step and almost fell off the platform entirely.
Don’t worry though, his teammates were all there to catch him.

Over the weekend, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov arrived in Germany to participate in the 2017 World Championship.
On Sunday, the two Capitals participated in Russia’s team photo for the tournament.
As each Capitals player filed off the bench and skated one-by-one out to the far blue line, a once familiar sight appeared. A year after becoming a national sensation, Justin Williams and his fabled poof of hair re-emerged from the locker room. He was joined on the ice by an even poofier and more lopsided head of hair.
22-year-old Swede Andre Burakovsky imitated the three-time Stanley Cup champion’s look, appearing to be Williams’ real-life brother.
The Washington Capitals hosted their team photo this morning and it appears Justin Williams‘ family grew by one member. Andre Burakovsky blew his hair out, resembling Williams’ younger, more hair-buoyant Swedish brother.
Burakovsky actually managed to have a bigger fro than his Canadian teammate.

The Washington Capitals took their annual team photo Monday at Kettler Capital Iceplex prior to their morning skate. The star of the photoshoot was Justin Williams. He came out with a frizz ball of hair, out-shining the bed hair of Andre Burakovsky and Michael Latta.
The giant poof got everyone laughing and joking, which was perfect for such a tedious event. They took several photos as a team, and then one each with the staff and sponsors. Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin were gentleman and took to helping the ladies walk in their heels across the ice.
