Simply put, the Capitals should be able to contend for the Stanley Cup this season. They have some of the best young offensive and defensive threats in the NHL, all of whom now have some experience at the top level and are ready to push the Caps even higher than their Southeast Division title last season. Alex Ovechkin was the league's top player last year and should be even better this season. He works with players like Nicklas Backstrom (one of the league's top rookies and a marvelous playmaker). Alexander Semin is blossoming, and the Caps will gladly look forward to the return of key veterans Michael Nylander and Chris Clark. The Caps also easily adjusted to new coach Bruce Boudreau's tough forechecking style last season. Kessel, Bergeron score in shootout for Bruins' win (AP) 10/05/08
