Triumph can often bring out the most emotional moments in sports, and that couldn't have been more true with Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie on Thursday night.

In his Stanley Cup-winning postgame interview with Scott Oake, Oshie got choked up talking about his father, Tim, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

This memory will stay with the entire Oshie family forever.
