“Washington can do the same as Pittsburgh,
except we’ll win the Cup.” – Alex Ovechkin |
The Washington Capitals have never won a Stanley Cup but after a major victory surge at the end of last season and a trip to the playoffs, Caps fans are buzzing that this is THE year. One major factor for this new level of excitement – Alex Ovechin, cover athlete for the new issue of ESPN The Magazine that hit newsstands Friday. Ovechkin lead the league in scoring and won four individual trophies last season – including The Hart (MVP). After Ovechkin and the Capitals lost in the playoff quarterfinals, he told Caps owner Ted Leonsis he would trade all of his honors for one Stanley Cup. In “Regime Change,” Eric Adelson writes about Ovechkin’s transformation of Washington-hockey and how Caps fans see him as an agent for change - change they can believe in. The Magazine’s NHL Preview includes seven pages of conference, team and position rankings. Mag hockey guru E.J. Hradek breaks it all down as the as the race for the Stanley Cup begins. | ESPN The Magazine Picks: | Smart Money | Dark Horses | If God is Canadian | | Eastern Conference Champs: | Penguins | Capitals | Canadiens | | Western Conference Champs: | Red Wings | Stars | Oilers | | Stanley Cup Champs: | Red Wings | Capitals | Canadiens |
