Oshie gets choked up talking about his Alzheimer's-stricken father after Cup win
Warning: Video contains course language
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.
Well okay, I guess I'm shedding some tears tonight for a team and player I don't follow or really care about. #oshie pic.twitter.com/bIUq46afGF

This spectacular photo was captured, and as TSN's Frank Seravalli puts it, "sometimes a picture really is worth 1,000 words."

This memory will stay with the entire Oshie family forever.
