What a story that would be for an expansion team to win a championship. But Washington's physical style might prove to be the difference maker.

And was well thought of here. I wish him and the Caps good luck. The way the NHL did the expansion draft was a travesty- it took us 20 years to get to the finals.

I don't know if I'd go quite that far in describing the draft. But, Vegas sure did have it better than any expansion team in the history of professional sports. Much better. Seattle won't be getting the same deal, nor will any other future expansion team. That's the real travesty. I am already sick of all the hype about them being in the Final.

I'm not a Caps fan, but I gotta root for Ovie, Backstrom and Holtby. And, as much as I like Marc-Andre Fleury, there's no way in hell I can root for the rest of his team.
