Ovechkin, Holtby set table for Caps' victory feast

TAMPA, Florida - Alex Ovechkin lifted the Prince of Wales Trophy, spun around and set it back down on a table at center ice.

The rest of the Capitals joined him for a team photo after beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-0 on Wednesday night in Game 7 of the NHL Eastern Conference final, a victory that sent Washington to the Stanley Cup final for the first time in 20 years.

A decade of playoff frustration is fading fast.
