In the Washington Capitals forty four year history there would be successes, and there would be failures. Dreadful seasons and spectacular ones. Stars, All Stars and great teams. But as the years went by; there would be no Cup. In 2005, a Russian born superstar named Alexander Ovechkin would start his NHL career with the Washington Capitals. He would go on to break
