Its probably the greatest what-if question in Caps history. Vogs has a nice Stevens piece on the official site, which of course presents a cautionary tale. I was just becoming a "serious" hockey and Caps fan during that 89-90 season, and I couldn't really appreciate at the time the magnitude of what was happening when Stevens was sent packing. We can only hope that we don't have to endure the loss of another franchise RFA again . . . Anyway, "the Hat" has some nice words about Dave Fay during the ceremony last night, about how he was old school "in a good way," knew when and how to criticize a team, and was well respected by other long time hockey writers.
