45-50 correct: You are a Washington Capitals extraordinaire. You rock the red and you rock it harder than everyone else. Congratulations to you on your diehard status! 

40-44 correct: While you aren’t quite as diehard as other Caps fans, you should be proud of how much you know. Keep on learning and rocking the red!

35-39 correct: While you might be a newer Caps fan, that’s fine. Keep on rocking the red and you’ll be a diehard fan.

30-35 correct: You did an OK job. You’re a pretty big Capitals fan, but most likely, you didn’t like the Caps until Alex Ovechkin came to town. And you know what? We won’t judge you for that. After all, we were all new fans at some point.
