Why are the Capitals in the southeast division? Washington, D.C. isn't in the southeast, shouldn't they be in the atlantic division or something?-- Stang281 05:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Why is the 820 frequency of WTOP listed as the station? The Caps aired on WTNT/570 last season and there's been no official announcement yet about the radio for the upcoming season. - EvWill 00:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Jonas Johansson only played one game with the Capitals this season, does he really warrent being mentioned? So many players played in the minors and had stints with the big club this year it's tricky to pin down players to mention in this category. Thoughts? Volsus 04:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
May want to add Eric Fehr. Internet Hockey Database has him on there.-- Biggie 00:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't they be the Washington CAPITALS? -- Dante Alighieri 01:03 31 May 2003 (UTC)
They are. Basil Fawlty 01:08 31 May 2003 (UTC)
Except the reference is to the capital of the country, not the status of the letters ;).
What do you think? We can post the old logo under fair use rules, right? zubizuva May 4, 2005.
I have started a List of Washington Capitals players. When you add players to the main Capitals article, could you also add the players to the list? Thanks! Masterhatch 11 August 2005
I thought Kolzig is a German national that just happened to be born in South Africa. Ie: If my American mother gave birth to me in Switzerland, I would still be American (although I could probably apply for dual citizenship). He plays for the German national team. I knew this was going to happen when I added the flags. ccwaters 22:35, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
As a native English speaker who also speaks German, it is correct to spell his name as Koelzig, if an umlaut cannot be applied. This applies to any of the vowels in German which take an umlaut... Jägermeister/Jaegermeister, asf. — Ƿōdenhelm ( talk) 13:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Ivan Majesky is a Slovak player. He was born in Slovakia, which was a part of Czechoslovakia in that time. He plays for Slovak national team, so it is amazing if there is the Czech national flag beside him. This is exactly the same like Dainius Zubrus, who was born in Lithuania, which was a part of the U.S.S.R. in that time and beside him is the Lithuanian flag and the place of his birth is Lithunia.-- Janothird 04:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
I've seen the debut year listed as 8-67, which isn't 67 losses in 80. Correction? Trekphiler 04:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
I added a sentence about the "Easter Epic" playoff game in 1987. I think it deserves a mention since it's a classic game in NHL history, even though the Caps lost. Gujuguy 00:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
When did this happen? I don't follow the Caps, so I'm not deleting anything yet but where was it announced? Cheers, Dubbya9 02:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
With the NHL going to a different uniform style, the Caps are indicating they are making dramatic changes in their uniforms with their new "Change is Coming" campaign. The current Capital Dome logo is shown being broken apart by red, white and blue light... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.140.151.250 ( talk) 02:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
The announced date for the uniform change is June 22, 2007
I like my black jersey. I saw a sneak peak of the new red jersey. Its basically an update of the old Capitals "T" as a hockey stick logo. I'm gonna miss the Eagle and Dome, though Paleridernightwolf 05:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Article needs a jersey section, complete with whole photos and info. Also, the team mascot needs to be mentioned somewhere. Love each other, or perish. ~Auden 05:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I know the captaincy was 'vacant' for only 8-days (Dec 28, 2009 to Jan 5, 2010). But, it was vacant at the turn of the 'year'. Therefore, no captain, 2009-10. GoodDay ( talk) 12:29, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
I just pulled out this year's media guide DVD, as I suggested above, but the information there is not any more detailed than what is already on this page. It doesn't list "No captain" for the prior period, for what it's worth (and of course this year's scenario isn't listed, as the media guide was prepared prior to all this). I'm sure somebody could find precise captaincy dates, but it won't be me, as I don't care that much about the issue. I think "reasonableness" ought to guide these things and, as I said above, I think a "reasonable" reader would not expect to find a "No captain" entry for a period of eight days after the prior captain was traded. But I don't care enough to waste further time fussing about it! 1995hoo ( talk) 15:30, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm going to suggest that the Records section be split off into its own article. Other NHL teams don't seem list much more than scoring leaders, which we already have in the Players section. I'm not saying remove it, just create an article like List of Washington Capitals records and statistics.-- Patrick { oѺ∞} 00:21, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
The picture you have for their alternative Jersey is non-existent, that is just one they are using for the winter classic, which to the best of my knowledge, will not become thrown into their regular season selection 69.171.176.95 ( talk) 20:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Weber and Fay are in fact Hockey Hall of Famers. The Hockey Hall of Fame website, under "Honored Members" has a section for broadcasters and writers. Ron Weber was also included in the 2010 induction ceremony ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji0uJeDHf3M) Writers and broadcasters are in the hockey hall of fame, so those inducted are hockey hall of famers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.39.175.75 ( talk) 00:43, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Could someone put in the info for the 2010-11 season? I'm pretty new to Wikipedia so I can't be trusted to do it right. There's a separate page on here titled "2010-11 Washington Capitals season" and you could condense the stuff in that article and put it in here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.119.102 ( talk) 00:09, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
I see the lead infobox is now on the left and has moved all the text down. It appears that this has happened in other articles too. Does anyone know what's going on? Is this some new Wikipedia convention? (I tried digging around but couldn't find anything clarifying why this was done.) Quite frankly, it looks like crap this way and it's a pain in the arse to have to scroll past that relatively static information to find the article. Anyone have any clarification on what happened with this? 1995hoo ( talk) 16:48, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I would say the info box at the top needs to be reworded/updated. Boudreau is no longer a coach for one, and Ted Leonsis revitalizing the team sounds a bit opinionated.
Former AOL executive Ted Leonsis has owned the team since 1999, and has revitalized the franchise by drafting star players such as Alexander Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green, and hiring former head coach Bruce Boudreau. The 2009–10 Capitals won the franchise's first-ever Presidents' Trophy, for being the team with the most points at the end of the regular season.
Luky.MD ( talk) 2:54, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Do you think the Caps Asst GM (Brian MacLellan) should be included in the infobox along with McPhee (ala L.A. King's wiki article)? Mhoppmann ( talk) 18:46, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Since Oates tenure was a single season, and did not actually move to revitalize the team, it seems not in keeping with the rest of the statement about Leonsis revitalizing the team. Since Dale took the team to the playoffs and he isn't mentioned, seems better to use Barry as an example of establishing a strong identity since the results so far have proved as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.17.186 ( talk) 04:04, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Some idiot has edited the page to show the Penguins logo and has Ovechkin listed as Mr. No-Cup. Please change /info/en/?search=File:CapsNewLogo.svg.png to /info/en/?search=File:Washington_Caps_Alternate.svg and fix the Ovechkin's name by taking out the "Mr. No-Cup."

Hello, I found the article about Jaroslav Svejkovský, in which it states "Svejkovský scored four goals, as Washington beat the Buffalo Sabres 8–3. As of 2011, he is the only Capitals rookie to score four goals in one game." 2011 seems a bit too long ago, does anyone here have any idea whether this is still true and can be updated to 2018?

Could you please add on the VERY bottom of the page that the Capitals won the Cup? Please. 2602:304:5D4E:5E49:9924:C487:5F9F:8ACA ( talk) 18:59, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
