Washington Capitals fans have waited 20 years for this moment. Their team has made it to the Eastern Conference Finals and hundreds, if not thousands, of Capitals fans made the trip down to the sunshine state for Games 1 and 2.
Caps fans have been known to travel well over the last several seasons. Friday morning, fans flew out of BWI, Ronald Reagan and Dulles Airport to Tampa Bay to cheer on their Capitals!

Brian McNally of The Sports Capitol also was able to confirm a large contingent of Caps fans on his flight.
Handful of #Caps fans on this plane to Tampa. Already got their gear on for Game 1. Hardest of the hard cores.
