Yes, seeing Alex Ovechkin lift the Stanley Cup before Henrik Lundqvist hurts.
The pure joy and happiness that the “Great 8” had can only make you wonder how the “King” would react should the Blueshirts reach the promised land. You would think pretty close to Ovechkin’s.
But underneath all of that hurt, one thing must remain the same…the plan. All because Washington has won something that the Rangers have been chasing since 1994 doesn’t mean the Rangers need to change the goal they set out in early February.
Sometimes teams and owners let what goes on around the league change their own plans.
