Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin are graying and fraying
NY Post
So a changing of the postseason guard in the East, where the Penguins and Caps both failed to reach the second round for the third straight year. That had not happened since 2004 through 2007. They’re both graying, they’re both fraying and there was nothing either Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin could do about it.
And by the way, Tom Wilson never looked so insignificant as he did in Washington’s disorderly five-game retreat against Boston, the winger whom— altogether now — “everyone in the league would want on their team” chipping in with a single goal and a single assist while serving as a bystander to most of the action. Garnet Hathaway made more of an impression against the B’s. The Caps have not won a round since boorishly going all Bacchanalian following their 2018 Cup victory and low-balling Barry Trotz out of town straight to behind the bench on the Island. The Penguins have won one round since going back-to-back in 2016 and 2017, and have now dropped four straight series. Meanwhile, Marc-Andre Fleury continues on his merry way in Vegas.More Related News
