The Washington Nationals really got wild by the end of the Caps-Flames game. Several of the team’s stars, such as Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, Adam Eaton, and Sean Doolittle, got shirtless during a second intermission Zamboni ride.
The shirts came off again during the third period after the Capitals and PA announcer Wes Johnson unleashed the fury.
As it ended, Yan Gomes and Brian Dozier began pouring beers into the mouths of Capitals fans below.

The Washington Nationals got to experience a rare thing during Sunday’s game at Capital One Arena: a hat trick.
After Jakub Vrana scored his first career hatty in the second period against the Flames, the Nationals, who were already drinking after every goal, had an epic celebration in the stands.
Adam Eaton, who was was at ice level to be honored by the crowd, threw at least five Capitals hats that had already been collected back onto the ice.

TJ Oshie hasn’t done his beer chug in a long time. Oshie first revealed his epic party trick publicly during the Capitals’ 2018 Championship Parade and Rally on the National Mall. Since then it’s become the stuff of legend.
But with the World Series-winning Washington Nationals in the Capitals locker room and the alcohol flowing, Oshie pulled his shirt over his head, stuck the beer to his mouth, and chugged.
The Nationals posted the video to their Instagram Story.

The Washington Nationals went to the Washington Capitals game last night. The World Series champions, in the presence of such great partiers, let go of their inhibitions and the game became a wild house party. There was drinking, there was celebrating, and there was lots of half nudity.
So obviously, the best way to end the night was to let these players out on the ice, which is slippery, and let them play a dangerous sport that is new and foreign to them.
The Nationals played hockey, you guys.

It was bound to happen. Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton performed the Ritual of Champions before Sunday’s game against the Calgary Flames.
In front of the Caps, Eaton spoke the Sacred Words, “Let’s go, boys.” He then flipped his jersey over his face and poured a Bud Light through the jersey and into his mouth.
The room erupted in Solemn Applause.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The nation’s capital hosted a championship parade on Constitution Avenue on Saturday – its second in two years. Hundreds of thousands of fans, many already wearing Nationals’ World Series championship gear, crammed against metal railings, stood on benches and metal trash cans, and lined the steps of the National Archives building to get a view of their favorite players.
The parade officially started at 2 PM after two jets flew over. Double-decker buses adorned with World Series champion logos and shark graphics slowly began making their way down the street.
