'A thing of beauty': 25 years later, Ted Leonsis reflects on Capitals ownership

While the pinnacle of Ted Leonsis' tenure as a sports owner can be easily identified, it might come as a surprise that the night the Capitals won the Stanley Cup also serves as one of his big regrets. “When we won in 2018, I did not get the adrenaline high of great joy,” Leonsis recently told WTOP. Leonsis was relieved for a fan base that had so badly craved a Stanley Cup triumph. “I lived in fear that Alex would be the greatest player to never win the Stanley Cup,” Leonsis said.
