Washington Capitals: 2015 Was A Year To Remember

The Washington Capitals had an incredibly memorable 2015. There were many exciting moments both on the ice and off of the ice that will shape this team heading into the new calendar year.

2015 was a very eventful year for the Washington Capitals organization and those who support them. From the first day of 2015 to the last, we will have many things to look back on in a favorable light. This is a team that everyone should be truly proud of.

The Capitals kicked off the season by playing in one of the most memorable games in franchise history. They continued to usher in a new era of hockey under head coach Barry Trotz. For the second year in a row, an aggressive and committed general manager in Brian MacLellan made bold moves that could propel the Washington Capitals to their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

The emergence of several key players has also made an impact on the Caps in 2015. These players have grown before our eyes and turned into some of the NHL’s best players at their respective positions.

As usual, the Washington Capitals found all kinds of ways to keep our emotions unsteady. They were able to counter two of their most prevalent demons of recent years, but could not complete the trifecta in the Stanley Cup playoffs despite being mere moments away from doing so.

Without further ado, let us look back at one of the most exciting years in franchise history – one that kept us entertained at all times, and one that could help shape the future of the franchise.
