The Washington Nationals honored the Washington Capitals at Nationals Park after the Caps won their first Stanley Cup in June 2018.
Sunday, the Caps returned the favor, hosting a pregame ceremony for the World Series champion Washington Nationals.
It was an epic moment.

The Czech Republic took their team photo Saturday in Slovakia.
And ya bois Jakub Vrana and Dmitrij Jaskin were full participants.
The Washington Capitals held their annual team picture day at MedStar Capitals Iceplex on Wednesday, though it contained very few hijinks compared to years past.
Those hijinks were saved for the locker room, where NBC4’s Sherree Burruss challenged Jakub Vrana, Matt Niskanen, Braden Holtby, and Lars Eller to pick out their teammates in their youth hockey team photographs.
For some of them, that was easier said than done.

Wednesday morning, the Capitals converged at MedStar Capitals Iceplex to take their team photo. RMNB’s Cara Bahniuk was present to capture the moment (and any fun capers) on camera.
Michal Kempny, recovering from surgery on a torn left hamstring, was not present, but team athletic trainer Mike Harrington wore his gear for the team photo. Kempny’s face will be photoshopped onto Harrington’s body.

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.
