It’s over. Last night, the Caps lost game seven in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers. They will now face the dreaded eighteen hole golf courses of McLean, and their own personal workout regimens. Led by the season-long heroics of Alexander Ovechkin, Mike Green and Olaf Kolzig, the team came back from 14th in the East at New Years to third place in the East with home ice advantage in their first playoff series in five years.
For superstar Ovechkin, the summer will be a time to face the media at the NHL Awards Show, where he is expected to be crowned as the league’s most valuable player. For the team, it will be a chance to see how that media attention, following as it does upon a strong showing in a nationally televised playoff series, will help its chances on the free agent market.
