WASHINGTON, DC — The bromance between the Caps and Nats continued at Sunday's Washington Capitals game.

Nats players rode the ice resurfacer shirtless while hosting the World Series trophy, showered everyone with beer after goals, and even threw hats after Jakub Vrána notched his first career hat trick in the Caps' 4-2 win agains the Calgary Flames.

Before the game, Nats players posed with the Caps for a photo on the ice as "We are the champions" played, the anthem of the Caps after their Stanley Cup championship last year.

The Nats and Caps have supported each other through both runs. Nats stars Max Scherzer and Ryan Zimmerman decked out in full Caps gear and led the crowd in a "Let's Go Caps" chant at a game during their Stanley Cup run, and then invited the team and the Stanley Cup to Nationals Park on an epic day that would include their now-famous fountain-diving adventure.

The Capitals were equally excited for the Nats, supporting them throughout their playoff run. They were caught on video during a Halloween party in Arlington, Va., showering each other with champagne after the Nats recorded the final out in Game 7. On Sunday, the Caps returned the favor, celebrating the World Series champs and making them a big part of the game -- before, during, and after. You can watch some of best moments below.
