WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- It's no wonder the Washington Capitals are suffering from a serious Stanley Cup hangover.

It's not uncommon for the winners of hockey's holy grail to get off to a slow start the following season but when you consider how much liquor the Capitals players consumed during a seemingly summer-long party -- particularly captain Alex Ovechkin -- it's conceivable that their heads could ache until Christmas.

And the Winnipeg Jets, who host the champs at Bell MTS Place on Wednesday, don't want to give them any secret cures.
