Description
This eagle flies back to D.C. with the Holy Grail of hockey... along with part of a Knights jersey.

(Yeah, it's fairly overdue; I did this a while ago -- closer to the Caps' Stanley Cup win -- but recently I've been too busy to post it.)

The picture -- a Wacom tablet/Photoshop piece -- is a continuation of this scene , in which the Mysticons' Emerald (the Mysticon Knight) takes on the bald eagle as the Stanley Cup Finals take shape. The eagle's possession of the cup (and part of Em's sweater) shows the tale's end; the ultimately five-game series culminated in -- among other things, such as Vegas's first taste of such an event (and thus their first opportunity to boo Gary Buttman Bettman) -- the Caps' first Stanley Cup win.

#ALLCAPS , indeed.

(Don't worry about Em's jersey -- I'm sure it will be fixed... as soon as the Mysticons track down the eagle, snatch back the piece, and put it back together with magic.)

Congratulations to the Washington Capitals on finally winning their first Stanley Cup in team history. It's nice to see the 44-year wait have a happy ending; the look on Ovechkin's face upon raising the cup for the first time is especially cathartic. A job well done; have some quality time with the cup and enjoy the offseason.

As well, congratulations to the Vegas Golden Knights on their immensely successful inaugural season; to even make it to the Finals in season one is an incredible feat. As the league's greatest commissioner said after Game 5 (as the boos and jeers heaps of praise rained down from the masses of fans at T-Mobile Arena), you and your fans have proven that Vegas is an NHL city. Keep your heads high; you have a long, amazing history to write ahead of you.
