3 players Capitals should be grateful for this Thanksgiving

#2 Alex Ovechkin

I know what you’re thinking, why is Alex Ovechkin number two on this list and not number one? It’s tough to explain but if this was any other year he’d be number one. But due to unfortunate circumstances that happened earlier this month, he’s number two on this list.

Ovechkin is fun to watch. He brings an unmatched personality and skill to his game. We are very fortunate and grateful that he’s ours. Superstars tend to go from team to team in other sports such as the NFL and NBA. Sometimes that’s the case in the NHL.

Ovechkin has been a Washington Capital since their first selection in the 2004 NHL Draft. He will be a Washington Capital for life. Even after he hangs up his skates. The best part is thanks to 2018, we no longer have to go to bed and wonder if he’ll ever win a Stanley Cup. He did. And nobody will take that away from him or us.

Whether they win another one or not in Ovechkin’s career, we’ll always have that spring of 2018. The way he lifted that Cup and screamed is one of the best Cup lifts of all time in my unbiased opinion (OK maybe a little biased).
