The Washington Capitals play the Las Vegas Golden Knights for the NHL’s Stanley Cup beginning tonight. The seven game series will have downtown Washington DC and Penn Quarter alive with events as long as the series lasts with three of the games possible at the Capital One Arena (601 F St NW).
After the Tampa Bay game 7 watch party ebullient Captials fans flooded 7th St NW and the surrounding area for about an hour. We expect more of the same especially if the Capitals are victorious. Find the Stanley Cup schedule and happenings below:

We attended the watch party for game 7 against Tampa Bay and can say that it was generally fantastic with the arena filling up in the 100 and 200 levels, about two-thirds full. The only gripe we had was that the concessions were staffed too thinly for the size of the crows as demonstrated by the long lines and exhausted concession staff. We appreciated their efforts though!
