Washington Capitals jump out to franchise-best start in 2015-16 season
The Washington Capitals have built on a successful first campaign under Barry Trotz to explode out to their best start in franchise history in the 2015-16 season. As of this writing, they sit with a 12 point cushion in both the Metropolitan Division over the New York Rangers and the Eastern Conference as a whole. They are also the top team in the league, leading the Western Conference leading Dallas Stars by one point with two games in hand.
All of the prior events of 2015 have seemed to lead this Capitals team to where they are right now. They are a Stanley Cup favorite with quite possibly their deepest team ever. Everybody is contributing, and it seems nobody can stop the Caps.
Although they will face a bit of adversity over the coming weeks due to injuries to several key players, the Washington Capitals are in a great position. Hopefully, everybody will be back in good time and ready to make 2016 even better than 2015.
Let’s take a moment to remember our 2015 Capitals, whether it was the joy or the heartbreak, one of the most memorable years we have had as Caps fans. Here’s to hoping 2016 will bring even greater things.
