A Washington Capitals fan traveled to the Antarctic Peninsula just to troll the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Sampson Coe shared a photo Wednesday on Facebook of himself wearing a Stanley Cup champions shirt with a waddle of penguins behind him.

Coe, 29, told Scott Allen of the Washington Post that he and his wife, Lorelei, are in the midst of a one-year sabbatical that will take them to every continent.

"Been planning something along those lines since we booked the trip last year, well before the boys lifted Lord Stanley," Coe said.

"(We) had to pack light given the amount of ground we're covering (one backpack each), so I only have a few T-shirts in the rotation. I made damn sure that the Caps and Nats were represented."
