We're just over a week away from the 2018 Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals raising their championship banner and kicking off their season against the Boston Bruins. They pretty much brought everyone back from their title team with the exception of a few veteran guys that got bigger money to go elsewhere. A lot of the teams in the East made moves to improve, with the most notable being Jon Tavares going home to Toronto, and the Caps division rival, New York Islanders adding Caps Stanley Cup Winning head coach Barry Trotz.
In the West, Erik Karlson was traded last week to the Sharks, so that should give them some strength on their defense.
Can Vegas repeat? Will the Blackhawks continue to circle the drain? Lots of questions to ask as the season gets closer and closer.
The quote in the thread title was from Alex Ovechkin at the beginning of last year...looks like he was right!
Oh, and they've also banned keg stands on Lord Stanley's Cup thanks to the Champs.
