[edit] Radio
Why is the 820 frequency of WTOP listed as the station? The Caps aired on WTNT/570 last season and there's been no official announcement yet about the radio for the upcoming season. -EvWill 00:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Jonas Johansson only played one game with the Capitals this season, does he really warrent being mentioned? So many players played in the minors and had stints with the big club this year it's tricky to pin down players to mention in this category. Thoughts? Volsus 04:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- He's not on the Caps' roster according to their own website. I say pitch him. RGTraynor 06:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
May want to add Eric Fehr. Internet Hockey Database has him on there.--Biggie 00:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- When the Caps add him to the roster, officially, I'm sure someone will. RGTraynor 06:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name
Shouldn't they be the Washington CAPITALS? --Dante Alighieri 01:03 31 May 2003 (UTC)
They are. Basil Fawlty 01:08 31 May 2003 (UTC)
Except the reference is to the capital of the country, not the status of the letters ;).
[edit] Old logo.
What do you think? We can post the old logo under fair use rules, right? zubizuva May 4, 2005.
[edit] List of Washington Capitals players
I have started a List of Washington Capitals players. When you add players to the main Capitals article, could you also add the players to the list? Thanks! Masterhatch 11 August 2005
[edit] Kolzig
I thought Kolzig is a German national that just happened to be born in South Africa. Ie: If my American mother gave birth to me in Switzerland, I would still be American (although I could probably apply for dual citizenship). He plays for the German national team. I knew this was going to happen when I added the flags. ccwaters 22:35, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- That, and he technically has an umlaut over the O in his name.
- I don't see many english publications mentioning "Kölzig". We been through this many many times... ccwaters 23:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

- Well, that's because English doesn't have umlauts.

- I have a mini-"reference page" on my userspace if you want to use it as a sort of guide when it comes to player flags. It was originally a proposed guideline but it kind of got abandoned, though I still update the page as I go along. --Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 07:13, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ivan Majesky
Ivan Majesky is a Slovak player. He was born in Slovakia, which was a part of Czechoslovakia in that time. He plays for Slovak national team, so it is amazing if there is the Czech national flag beside him. This is exactly the same like Dainius Zubrus, who was born in Lithuania, which was a part of the U.S.S.R. in that time and beside him is the Lithuanian flag and the place of his birth is Lithunia.--Janothird 04:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- In addition: See the official NHL page [1] and see the official Washington Capitals page [2]. Ivan Majesky was born in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia.--Janothird 05:21, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- If you look at *most* of the rosters, we are using the countries that existed at birth. Zubrus needs to be changed to USSR. He was just an oversight. Yes Majesky should have a slovak flag, but he was born a long time ago in a land called Czechoslovakia. ccwaters 11:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Record
I've seen the debut year listed as 8-67, which isn't 67 losses in 80. Correction? Trekphiler 04:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- It sure is. That's 8-67-5. RGTraynor 06:12, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
-
- Wow. That's really, really bad.
[edit] Easter Epic
I added a sentence about the "Easter Epic" playoff game in 1987. I think it deserves a mention since it's a classic game in NHL history, even though the Caps lost. Gujuguy 00:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
