The NHL Season started yesterday with four games played. One of those games had the Capitals playing against the Bruins. The Capitals would win with Alexander Ovechkin getting 2 goals and an assist in a 4-1 victory. Looks like the MVP is off to a great start to repeat for the Hart trophy. I'm sure he would like to lift the Stanley Cup more however. Three other games were played as well with Montreal beating Toronto 4-3 in OT, Calgary beating Vancouver 5-3 and Colorado beating San Jose 5-2.
The big question for the season is who will hoist the Stanley cup in June of 2010. My home team, the Sharks, have not proven to me they can win big once in the postseason. I hope they will win but I only see a playoff appearance in sight. I do see the Capitals as a contender as they seem to get closer every year but they need more than Ovechkin to get there. Detroit and Pittsburgh are also contenders seeing that they were the last two Stanley Cup winners. I kind of want a third match up between the two in the Stanley Cup Finals as a tie breaker for the last two years. Honestly I think one of these two teams wins the Cup again. Not necessarily in a Third straight match up but just one of them winning the Cup. If I had to pick one, I guess Detroit.
