Ted Leonsis agrees with his GM: the Caps sense of urgency is growing

Ted Leonsis was out of town during the Caps annual media day, but he knows what was said by the organization’s leading voices. By his captain, Alex Ovechkin, for example.

“Every year we talk about [how] this team can do something,” Ovechkin said last week. “You know, I think right now it’s time to not [be] talking; we have to do it. It’s 10 years; we have to move forward and take a big step.”

Or by his GM, Brian MacLellan.

“I think our guys are getting to an age where a lot of them are in their prime, and we need to be assertive in what we’re doing,” MacLellan told me.
