Cool trophy is an understatement. I'd say it's the most prizes trophy in sports but I'll limit myself to North America to limit possible embarrassment. (I do know of FIFA but a trophy with no names on it can't really compete, in my opinion.)
I was lucky enough to see it in person, and touch it, when it came through Kansas City the winter after the Capitals won it. So late 2018-19. I also saw a 1980's Olympic Gold medal at the same time. (Ken Morrow actually sends a lot of time in KC after he was an assistant coach for the Blades, our old IHL team.
I hope Jonah Gadjovich finds his name on the Cup. It always bothers me that Nathan Walker isn't listed with the 2017-18 Capitals. Yeah, he didn't play nearly as many games as Gadjovich did but Walker did play a playoff game and he had an assist in that game. (Primary assist, game 6 vs the Penguins when the Caps exorcised the demons in a 2-1 win.) So it was a very important assist.
As for not knowing how to explain/react to winning the Cup... Its a phenomenon that the NHL recognized a decade and a half ago with one of the best sports commercials in history.
Someone should tell Jonah that there's a better way to hold an infant carrier. I never mastered it because our son grew out of his somewhere around 3 months old, but my husband was good at it.
