Four wins in six games, ladies and gentlemen, means your Washington Capitals are moving on the Eastern Conference Championship, where they’ll play the Tampa Bay Lightning. It was awesome to see this team finally get that second round monkey off its back and move on to the Final Four. But, for some – it was just as joyous to see the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins eliminated. Indeed, there will be no three-peat this year.
Let’s hit the highlights:

Gotta feel good – but especially good considering the history between these two teams.
It’s been a great two years @penguins but I think it’s time we see other people.

I have to say…I see the vision, but this is a weird take on the crying Jordan meme.
And let it be known that no one beats the #Capitals in the second round three years in a row. #WSHvsPIT

I have no words. Only laughter.
You know what is the most beautiful sound in the world? The sound of @penguins fans tears hitting the ground. It’s like a soft rain storm. So pretty! #WSHvsPIT see you soon #ALLCAPS pic.twitter.com/WJsYz6dKCw

The celebration was phenomenal.
But, no one wins the night like this guy:
Game 7, Nashville v Washington. Overtime. Filip Forsberg turns it over to the corpse of Martin Erat for WSH game winner. It’s Destiny. #nhl #WSHvsPIT #StanleyCup #CapsPens #caps
