[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]By a score of 4-3 the Washington Capitals defeated the Vegas Golden Knights to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in the hockey team's 44 year history. The game ran slightly overtime but it didn't matter as all TV stations cancelled their news and late night programming to provide continuous coverage of the celebration. The game was played in Las Vegas but the Capital One Arena gave away free tickets to allow people to come down and watch the game on Jumbotrons inside the stadium. Tickets were made available at 1 pm and sold out by 1:05. WRC-TV Channel 4, the NBC affiliate, carried the game and then went to cover the fans outside, getting special permission to fly a video chopper over the crowd in what is otherwise restricted airspace. Reporters from channel 4 as well as WJLA-TV 7, the ABC affiliate, and WUSA-TV 9 , the CBS affilliate, all had local reporters at the stadium in Las Vegas where they were doing live interviews of the team members. Crowd scenes showed the entire area packed with people for about 2 blocks in every direction from the arena, estimated at 20,000 or more. [/quote]
