The Capitol is no stranger to distinguished foreign visitors, hosting presidents, prime ministers, kings and princesses. But few have generated the same giddy excitement as Wednesday’s honored guest: Lord Stanley’s Cup.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto hosted the NHL trophy in a room just off the Senate floor in honor of the Las Vegas Golden Knights championship last year. It provided Cortez Masto and her fellow Democratic Nevadan, Sen. Jacky Rosen, a chance to gloat about the Silver State’s golden skaters and pose for photos in front of the most beloved trophy in professional sports.
“I’m just hoping that it travels between the Capitol and Las Vegas year after year after year,” said Rosen.
