For those of us still watching the playoffs but don’t know who to root for, a few former Caps have the chance to raise Lord Stanley.
There’s Joel Ward with the San Jose Sharks. Ward, nor the Sharks for that matter, has won a Cup.
There’s Troy Brouwer with the Blues. Though Brouwer won a championship with Chicago several years ago, the Blues have a worse Stanley Cup drought than the Caps. Though they went to three straight finals in their first three years of existence, they haven’t won or been back since 1970.
