It's been a good couple of years for Russians in Washington, I guess. (kidding)
Ovi's deserved it after having such a long and great career so far. I lived in DC when the Caps won their first President's trophy and the city was RED CRAZY that year (it reminded me a lot of my hometown Buffalo in '06). So having seen first-hand how dedicated their fans are, I'm happy for them.
Vegas had an amazing season, and not saying they didn't deserve to get where they got or even win the cup if things turned out differently, but I think having an expansion franchise win the Stanley Cup would cheapen it in my mind. Again, that's not to say anything against the team at all; it's more of a commentary on me and my hang-ups than them and their performance.
