| NHL Washington Capitals | ||||||||
| The Washington Capitals played their first game in 1974. Like all new franchises, the first years were a struggle, with more defeat than success. The team didn’t make the playoffs until the 1982-83 season, but quickly established a presence with fourteen consecutive playoff appearances. There rough start was soon forgotten with 48, 46 and 50 win seasons in the mid-1980’s. One of their more legendary playoff games was in 1987, when the team played seven periods of hockey against the New York Islanders. The winning goal came at nearly 1:56 in the morning, a bitter defeat for the Capitals after four periods of overtime. |
