          The celebration is on in Washington, D.C. -- and for Washington Capitals players and their fans everywhere -- after the Caps won their first title in franchise history with a 4-3 Game 5 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

          It's the first big four pro sports championship for the nation's capital since 1992, and the first for Stanley Cup Final MVP Alex Ovechkin, and everywhere from Vegas to D.C. celebrated the Cup win.

          Fans of the Washington Capitals paraded through the streets of D.C. — and climbed buildings — after their team won the Stanley Cup on Thursday night.
