For the first time in 20 years, the Washington Capitals are going back to the Stanely Cup Final.  It's been a long time coming for Alexander Ovechkin and the Capitals and for the first time ever, Ovi will have a chance to win Lord Stanley's Mug.  

Based on the team's recent history of shortcomings in the playoffs, though, not many experts or fans predicted the Capitals to make it to this point, even after they beat the Penguins to get to the Conference Final.

Those experts that went against the Capitals got called out by the team on Twitter after Game 7 Wednesday night after Washington beat Tampa Bay 4-0 to win the series.

Again, you can't blame anyone for not having faith in the Capitals based on the past, but this might finally be Washington's year and we're excited to see Ovi and company playing for the Cup.
