Ovechkin's Epic Beer-Drenched DC Adventure: The Highlights

WASHINGTON, DC -- Every Washington Capitals fan knew that Alexander Ovechkin was a partier, and he desperately wanted the Stanley Cup. And those two attributes combined in an explosive way on Saturday when Ovi returned to D.C. with the Cup after a Game 5 series-clinching win over the Las Vegas Golden Knights to claim the first franchise championship in its 44-year history.

Ovechkin swung by the Washington Nationals game to throw out the first pitch and then joined his teammates in crashing D.C. -- Georgetown in particular -- with an epic all-day party that will not soon be forgotten in the D.C. area. Here are the top five highlights from the day.

It's been hours since the Caps swam in the fountain, but this angle is new to me. And amazing. Because they're all amazing. (via @jgboy13) pic.twitter.com/1SicLw6jaS
