How Mumford and Sons became the soundtrack for Capitals’ Stanley Cup triumph “All the lyrics talk about is humility and heartbreak, and then at the end it’s exuberance and joy,” Hines said. “The only way that fits is if the Caps win the Stanley Cup, so I sort of back-pocketed the idea for years. I put together multiple iterations of it in my head, and it just never panned out, because they never ended up finishing the deal…” …Hines, 32, began storyboarding the video during the Eastern Conference finals. Video editor Robert Clarke helped bring the project to life. “Once we beat Pittsburgh is when it started a conversation,” Jim Kowats, Monumental Sports and Entertainment’s senior VP of productions, said. “We started editing it when we were playing Tampa and then in earnest when they went into the Stanley Cup finals. We were adding shots up until the day it was posted — a lot of the playoff games and fan footage, and the watch parties here and around the city.” …Over the summer, additional footage was added from the parade and players’ time with the Cup. “It just kept getting better because people had more memories to add,” Hines said.
