TORONTO -- Was that joy or relief on the face of Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis in his team's dressing room on Sunday night? Given that his team had just won in overtime to survive its first-round series against the underdog Toronto Maple Leafs -- a surprising young squad he said he was hoping to avoid -- it was was probably a mix of both. Much like what every Capitals fan alive was feeling.
"The Leafs reminds me so much of our team five or six years ago,'' Leonsis told ESPN.com after Sunday's 2-1, Game 6-series clinching victory.
