Well, it starts with Alexander Ovechkin, who had an MVP-calibre season. He appears to be on a mission and has proven he is not only a great player, but a great big-game player. The Caps finished the season on an unbelievable roll, winning 11 of 12 to capture the Southeast Division title. Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green, Viktor Kozlov and Alexander Semin all had good years and it appears Sergei Fedorov is inspired again. Cristobal Huet gave them the goaltending required down

They have some terrific young players, led by Mike Richards, who led the team in scoring. Their power play was top-five for most of the season and they showed some character down the stretch, finding the resolve to end a slump and win when they needed to get into the post-season. When he is on, Martin Biron can be very good in goal and Daniel Briere can be a game breaker, but he was also a defensive liability.
