The Washington Capitals sit in first place in the Metropolitan Division during the pause in the NHL season but they haven’t been perfect.

With all that is going on in the world, we need a few laughs here and there. With no Washington Capitals hockey for the foreseeable future and today being April Fools Day, let’s take a look back at a few of their follies.

We’re not here to prank you into thinking how intelligent they were during the following things we’ll mention. Nope, we’re just going to bluntly tell you how it is.

3. Not improving since the turn of the New Year

Take this with a grain of salt but ever since the end of December, the Caps haven’t been the class of the NHL that they were during the first part of the season. In fact, their last game resulted in a loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The SABRES!

It’s very sad that the week began with us fearing for the worst in a loss to the Detroit Red Wings but instead, we all know what happened. They never played.

Dating back to December 23rd, the Caps had a 15-14-3 record. That’s not a winning formula for the ultimate goal.
