The Washington Capitals might be celebrating their Stanley Cup win just a little too enthusiastically.

Capitals players have been frequently doing keg stands out of the Cup during the trophy's turn with each member of the roster this summer. However, it's become evident that keg stands could damage the Cup, and now players and team staff have been asked to refrain from performing them.

"We ask them politely not to do it," Philip Pritchard, the Hockey Hall of Fame's Keeper of the Cup, told Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post. "We're trying to preserve the history of the Stanley Cup. We don't want any unnecessary damage to it or a person, in case they drop the person or he presses too hard or something."

The Capitals are the first team to regularly perform keg stands out of the Cup. Jimmy Fallon even did one when Alex Ovechkin and Braden Holtby made their appearance on "The Tonight Show" in June.

Pritchard says the Cup will be taken apart and cleaned at the end of the summer, and he'll be able to see what kind of stress doing keg stands has had on it.

"We'll see what happens as we move forward with the Cup," Pritchard said. "At the end of September, the Cup is going in to get engraved and updated and cleaned and everything, so we'll see how it is because we have to take it apart then and everything. We'll know probably more then in early October, once it's back for the home opener. Our biggest thing is respect for it."

For now, it seems the Capitals and subsequent teams will have to resort to celebrating in water fountains.
