Who are the new Caps/OV?

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Winnipeg, because Laine plays like Ovi and Wheeler is the same age as Ovi and is captain, like Ovi is.

But out of those three probably San Jose.

Thornton and the Sharks we're chokers long before OV and the caps were.

Those Sharks kept winning president trophies or close but ran into prime Datsyuk/Zett/Lidstrom era DRW prime Sedin era Nucks and prime near dynasty Hawks plus Kings and just couldn't get over the hump.

I don't like TB with this label they don't dominate the regular season the way the Sharks and Capitals did for long periods of time. My guess is the Leafs step into this title.

Usually softish teams with great scoring that aren't built for "playoff hockey" get the choker title. The Jets on the other hand have a better playoff roster.

Not sure if Washington is a football town. More of a corrupt politician, dead weight bureaucrat, and prostitute town.

Dude shut the hell up.

Agreed, but I guess you could have labeled him as a star player only a few years ago.

I guess Getzlaf/Ducks can somewhat be placed on this list, although Getzlaf isn't/wasn't the only prominent "star" on the team.

Getzlaf has a cup.

Tampa and the Sharks

Tampa having a championship 14 years ago also makes it hard for me to consider them tortured. Same for the Ducks, if they didn't win in 07 their losses this decade would make them Sharks Caps level but it's not the same

Probably a little off topic, but Lu and Florida would be a treat to watch win a cup. Obviously, SJ first a foremost, but I really think seeing Lu lift the cup up would be one of my favorite hockey moments of all time.
