Washington Capitals forward Chandler Stephenson will be keeping his own blog throughout the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights. Stephenson will check in regularly with behind-the-scenes access.
Stephenson, 24, is in his first full season with the Capitals, who selected him in the third round (No. 77) of the 2012 NHL Draft. He had 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) in 67 regular-season games and has seven points (two goals, five assists) in 23 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
In Stephenson's fifth entry, he recalls his childhood dream of winning of the Stanley Cup, looks forward to the opportunity to do it for real in Game 5 of the best-of-7 series at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday (8 p.m ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS), and tells of his new dream of bringing the Cup to Humboldt, Saskatchewan.
