I think it’s so amazing how a person of color has had their name engraved on the Stanley Cup within the past 5 years😌✨
(2017: Trevor Daley, 2018: Devante Smith-Pelly, 2020 & 2021: Mathieu Joseph, 2022: Nazem Kadri)

“The first time talking to somebody, interviewing them, will be a little funny, I wouldn’t say awkward, but hilarious,” Smith-Pelly said. “I think as the trip goes on, it’ll become more of the norm.”
Smith-Pelly was loved by his Capitals teammates and revered by fans for his heroics in the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where he rose from a bottom-six forward to a key contributor to Washington’s championship.
He scored seven goals in 24 playoff games, matching his total in 75 regular-season games, including one each in Games 3, 4 and 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The last goal was by far the biggest, when Smith-Pelly scored on a diving shot on Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury at 9:52 of the third period of Game 5 to tie it 3-3 and set the stage for Lars Eller’s Cup-winning goal 2:31 later.
