Having now cleared the first week of what is likely to be an offseason-long championship bender in Washington, D.C., we are happy to report that the entire Capitals roster is alive and well.
It still hasn’t quite sunk in yet that the many years of misery, let down and pain have finally been relieved by one grand moment in Vegas just over one week ago. But as the dust is finally clearing from a chaotic postseason, it is becoming more amazing by the day that this year’s squad was the one to summit the hockey universe.
You see, this year’s Washington Capitals were far from their most talented roster on paper.
