Ovechkin danced with the Stanley Cup deep into the morning. Just before 3 a.m., forward Tom Wilson poured beer from the Stanley Cup into Tiesto’s mouth. “How amazing is it you can walk into a bar and the Stanley Cup is there, 10 yards away?” one Capitals employee asked, standing by the bar. He’s such an emotional player, and so deserving of a Stanley Cup championship.”Ovechkin passed the trophy to Nicklas Backstrom, who skated a small circle with the Cup over his head, the start of a procession. The elevator opened to the lobby, where straggling gamblers and bachelor-party attendees were greeted by the sight of Carlson carrying the Stanley Cup through the MGM casino.
