Let’s call this exactly what it is, a hit piece aimed at diminishing everything Alex Ovechkin and Capitals have accomplished this year. The writer makes absurd suggestions, such as the reasoning for the Capitals making it to the finals was because they, “didn't have to go through Lundqvist”. He even includes a bizarre comment calling Ovechkin fat.
Continuing, the article claims the Golden Knights (or Golden Cinderellas as he calls them) were an easy match-up, and the result would have been different, "if the league’s best two regular-season teams, Nashville and Winnipeg, hadn’t been bracketed into a second-round match-up". He goes on to say the NHL somehow matched the Predators and the Jets
together to, "give lesser teams their best chance at winning."
How does trash like this get published by a so-called legitimate news organization?
