The 'but' stops here: Alex Ovechkin's 14-year Stanley Cup chase is over

LAS VEGAS -- Alex Ovechkin is a Stanley Cup champion. The 'but' is dead.

He's no longer Dan Marino. Or Ted Williams. Or Karl Malone. He is a star player whose statistical achievements -- 607 goals, putting him 19th all time at 32 years old -- will never again be counterbalanced by the lack of a championship.
