Washington Capitals: Top 25 goals of all-time

#4 Dale Hunter in overtime

The Caps haven’t really had playoff success in the 1980s but this was their big moment. In overtime of Game 7 between the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers, Dale Hunter raced down with a breakaway and scored nearly blowing the roof off the old Capital Centre.

Those Caps fans saw heartbreak the year prior in a four overtime gut puncher to the New York Islanders in what was known as the Easter Epic.

This time the fans got to go home and sit in that Landover, Maryland traffic happy. Hunter will always be a Capitals legend for this goal.

When Hunter became the interim head coach in 2011 after the firing of Bruce Boudreau, he was behind the bench in the first Caps overtime Game 7 win since that night when it was Joel Ward’s heroics in Boston.
