(Caps Outsider)
Former Caps captain Jeff Halpern, now an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Lightning, won his first Stanley Cup after Tampa Bay defeated the Dallas Stars, 4 games to 2, on Monday. Even though we would have preferred he won the Cup with Washington, we couldn’t be more proud of the Montgomery County, Md. native, who as a child played for the Little Caps youth team. The undrafted forward, who attended Princeton University, played for his hometown team from 1999-2006 and again in 2011–12.
As captain of the Caps in 2005, he sat out a game on Yom Kippur.
