When the Capitals played their first season in 1974-75 the team set an NHL record for futility, losing 67 of 80 games, and only winning one on the road. The team did not fare much better through the 1970s and the early 80's. By the summer of 1982, there was serious talk of the team moving out of D.C., and a "Save the Caps" campaign was underway. Then two significant events took place to solve the problem. First, the team hired 33-year old David Poile as General Manager. Second, as his first move, Poile pulled off one of the biggest trades in franchise history on September 9 when he dealt longtime regulars Ryan Walter and Rick Green to the Montreal Canadiens for Rod Langway, Brian Englbom, Doug Jarvis, and Craig Laughlin. This move not only turned the franchise around, but the addition of the new players helped lead the team during the 1982-83 NHL season reach the playoffs for the first time. In additional, they were also helped by the explosive goal scoring of Dennis Maruk, Mike Gartner, and Bobby Carpenter. Although they were swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders, their first ever playoff appearance helped the team remain in Washington.

The Caps would make the playoffs for each of the next 14 years in a row, but every time it ended in heartbreak. In the late 1980s, the Capitals, always a contender in the regular season, could never shake off their reputation for being "chokers". Despite a continuous march of stars like Gartner, Carpenter, Bengt Gustafsson, Mike Ridley, Dave Christian, Dino Ciccarelli, Rod Langway, or Kevin Hatcher, only once in that time period did the team ever get past the second round of the playoffs, a 4-game sweep at the hands of the Boston Bruins in the 1990 Wales Conference Finals.

Washington Capitals All Star Game Tickets

By the mid-1990s, the Capitals seemed to fritter away whatever chance they had at lifting the Stanley Cup. Despite having rising stars in right-winger Peter Bondra, defenseman Sergei Gonchar, and center Joe Juneau (the latter already having his best days behind him when he was traded from the Bruins in 1994), the team's core players were mostly aging. One of the team's darkest days came in a 1993 playoff series with the New York Islanders, when Dale Hunter was suspended 21 games for a vicious hit on Pierre Turgeon after he had just scored the series-winning goal.

The Capitals finally took a step to getting rid of their choker image in 1998. Peter Bondra's 52 goals led the team, veterans Juneau and Adam Oates returned to old form, and Olaf Kölzig had a solid .920 save percentage as the Caps got past the Bruins, Ottawa Senators, and Buffalo Sabres (the latter on a dramatic double-overtime win in game 6) en route to the team's first (and to date, only) Stanley Cup finals appearance. However, the team was no match for the juggernaut Detroit Red Wings, who won in a four-game sweep.

In 1999, the Capitals missed the playoffs. They went on to win back-to-back Southeast Division titles, yet both years lost in the first round to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Yet the Caps scored a major coup in the summer of 2001, landing Jaromír Jágr, one of the best players in the NHL in the 1990s, for a song from a near-bankrupt Pittsburgh team. Despite the new power, the Caps failed to make the playoffs in 2002. In the summer of 2002, the Caps, made even more roster changes, including the signing the highly regarded Robert Lang as a free agent.

In the early part of 2004, the Caps unloaded a lot of their high-priced talent in order to save money, and as an acknowledgment that their attempt to build a contender with high-priced veteran talent had failed. Jaromir Jagr was traded to the Rangers, which was quickly followed by Peter Bondra going to the Ottawa Senators. Not long after Robert Lang was sent to Detroit and Gonchar to the Bruins. The Robert Lang trade marked the first time in the history of the NHL that the league's leading scorer was traded in the middle of the season. The Capitals ended the year 23-46-10 with 59 standings points, their worst season in 26 years.

In the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, the Capitals got the first pick and used it on Russian phenom Alexander Ovechkin. During the NHL labor dispute of 2004-05, which cost the NHL its entire season, Ovechkin played in his native Russia along with another Russian rising star, Alexander Semin, who had made his NHL debut as a 19-year-old with the Capitals in 2004. Several other Capitals played part or all of the lost season in Europe, including Olaf Kölzig, Brendan Witt, and Jeff Halpern.

The 2005-2006 NHL season finds the Capitals where they ended: floating around the cellar of the Southeastern Division. This year finds the team with a new captain, Jeff Halpern, who has been on the team for five years, is a native of the D.C. area and has been a lifelong Capitals fan. Some notable additions to the team include able-scorer Jeff Friesen, NHL vet Andrew Cassels and defensive workhorse Jamie Heward. Yet no addition has been greater than Alexander Ovechkin, who is making a run to be the first Capital to win the Calder Trophy for Rookie of the Year. He's already worked his way into the record books by scoring at least one point (6G, 4A) in each of the Capitals' first eight games of the 2005-2006 season. The eight game point streak set the new NHL record for consecutive points to start an NHL career by a No. 1 overall pick.
